Toni Erdmann
One of the most talked-about films of 2016, the new film from Maren Ade (The Forest for the Trees. Everyone Else ) is an alternately hilarious and mortifying comedy about the fraught relationship between a repressed corporate consultant and her incessantly prank-playing dad.
Retired divorcee Winfried (Peter Simonischek), an incorrigible (and painfully unfunny) prankster, pays a surprise visit to his daughter Ines (Sandra Hüller), a high-ranking and tightly-wound management consultant, and soon insinuates himself into every aspect of her professional life, turning each day into a parade of embarrassment. Transforming a scenario fit for a sitcom into something wholly original and altogether more affecting, the must-see third feature from German director Maren Ade (The Forest for the Trees. Everyone Else ) is an almost unbearably intense comedy that is already being celebrated as the best film of 2016.
