Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
This is a German 25-minute movie from 8 years ago and it is uninspired rubbish from start to finish. This film has it all, or I should probably say nothing. The title could hardly be more pretentious "Chairs in the Snow" and has little to no reference to the actual happenings. Writer and director Florian Anders used a stupid pseudonym. The script is a perfect example of what a plot looks like if a filmmaker aspires for something great, but just doesn't have 10% of the talent he needs to turn his screenplay into a realistic movie. The two actors are pretty bad as well. Alexander Sternberg, these days, only appears in small roles in weak television shows. Preuß is still fairly known, but is not a gifted actress either. Her nudity was apparently intended to make this a more intimate experience, but this isn't working either. It's funny how this one here is supposed to be a credible parallel between love and hate in the face of sadism and masochism. Unfortunately, the only one who really suffers here is the one who has to watch this piece of garbage. Highly not recommended. Complete waste of time.
