TONI ERDMANN

A smart-ass father shows up in his serious daughter’s life. A revelation at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. “Are you happy?” It’s a simple question, but for Inès – 37, single, and a rising star at a German multinational’s Bucharest office – the answer is anything but. Especially since it’s being asked by her father, who’s landed in her life like a wise-cracking, burdensome whirlwind. A big critical and popular hit at Cannes this year, this third feature by German filmmaker Maren Ade endears with its originality and surprising depth.
