- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Repo Man, start here.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
In the very old-fashioned town of Ostend suddenly 13 suitcases are delivered to the Grand Hotel, with a note, that O.F. will be here soon and needs 6 rooms. This event, probably the biggest in 300 years, starts a small wave of modernisation, yet everybody is wondering who O.F. is.
