Thought-provoking comedy – for a narrow audience
This is a great movie – but most likely not for everyone. It’s about academic upper middle-class people and their family relationships. Not everybody will find that interesting and there is no usual “romantic” plot development. It’s a family portrait of a father and her daughter and as such has no (plot) conclusion. It is not the usual light comedy since it touches very serious questions and the prevailing mood is unhappiness (it is however _very_ funny at times ;-)).That being said, this movie makes some very fine and subtle observations, presents them in a funny and entertaining form yet at the same time in a thought-provoking and philosophical way which will make you think about it for a long time. If you’re from an academic (german) household you will find lots of similarities in your own family relations.
This movie is not fast-paced – in fact it often has long shots of lonely people and a lot is not said but has to be filled in by the viewer. So if you don’t relate to the characters this movie will feel longish for sure. But if you find traces of your own life or that of your friends and relatives you’ll be amazed by the subtlety and finesse in which this movie is directed. Although there are some bizarre events, everything which happens in this movie could happen in real life. There are no implausible scenes in this movie! This is an incredible statement given the crazy and bizarre things which happen in this movie. If you wanna know how that could be true, you might wanna watch it.
Yes, Germans can be funny too
Germans don’t have a reputation for being extremely funny. In cinema, they are better known for their dramas than for their comedies. ‘Toni Erdmann’ is the exception to the rule. It’s a German comedy and – surprise! – it has funny moments.On the other hand, this film is as much a drama as a comedy. The focus is not so much on the humor, but rather on the relationship between a father and his daughter. The daughter is a tense career woman, who lives in Bucharest and doesn’t really seem to enjoy her life. When her father visits her, he tries to make her unwind a bit by performing crazy pranks and practical jokes. It’s because of these jokes, sometimes leading to hilarious situations, that the film is classified as a comedy. But on the other hand, there is always a bitter aftertaste to the humour, because it is secondary to the father-daughter theme.
As irritating and embarrassing the father sometimes is to the daughter, at last he succeeds in changing her attitude. This in itself leads to some bizarre and also dramatically strong scenes.
In my opinion, the script could have used some streamlining and there was no need to stretch the movie to 162 minutes. On the plus side: this film offers an original view to the question how seriously we should take life. And the two lead actors do a great job.
