I saw this on TV in Germany as a teenager when it first was made and was fascinated by this strange, sad story set in everyday 80s Germany. Definitely recommended to anyone not averse to the darker side of life. An unusual and quirky offering.
I'd love to see it again to experience it from a different phase of life, and for 80s nostalgia. Not sure I will manage to get hold of it though, was surprised to even find it here.
Am even more surprised at the comment of the previous reviewer as the director Doris Dörrie went on to make more well-known feature films (e.g. Männer) and a name for herself in German cinema. These are also worth seeing if you enjoyed this film; Männer for example is a lot more light-hearted. Also recommended to people who like this film: Kehraus
