With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at romantics. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening.
- The mood
- Warm and romantic.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 21 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1971: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
It is love at first sight: elderly secretary Luzi and young, unemployed Dietmar find each other by accident in Rosa von Praunheim’s outrageous genre, social satire.
