Toni Erdmann (2016 Ger/Austria/Romania) Cert. 15 – subtitled

Extra sceening to meet demand,

Note 7PM start time as this is a long film

Director: Maren Ade

Stars: Sandra Huller, Peter Simonischek, Michael Wittenborn

Recently retired and bored, Winfried decides to pay a surprise visit to his daughter Ines, interrupting her rather grim corporate duties at an overseas factory.

He’s a relentless practical joker, introducing himself to Ines’s work colleagues as an outrageous, bewigged alter ego named Toni Erdmann, much to their amusement and her distress.

But can his clowning change his daughter’s life for the better?

This Academy Award nominated black comedy is “a moving and often hilarious portrait of a father-daughter relationship” (Time Out).

Here are links to Reviews from The Guardian and, deeper as ever, the Roger Ebert film discussion site.

The Guardian review includes a link to the “UK” Trailer, while the “US” version (which, interestingly, gives the film an “R” rating, more restrictive than the UK’s 15) can be seen below [fvplayer src=”https://youtu.be/j0uwi5EPnpA”]
