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
- If you count yourself among anyone looking to switch off and smile and people who like stories about real, flawed people, this one's for you. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1979: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
After several years in a coma, the Comanche, an Indian, wakes up in a Bavarian hospital. But reality does not match the dreams he had of it during his coma: it seems bleak and barren to him. The Comanche shows the audience his view of everyday life in Germany, with a collage of images and language demonstrating the absurdity of this reality.
