Oh Boy

Running time: 88 mins

A day in the life... but oh boy, what a day! And what a breezy, comic, light-footed, fun and funny film! Meet Niko, a young Berliner stuck in a state of in-between. As he drifts from one moment to the next, we are treated to a string of often hilarious vignettes and picture-perfect portraits, including: an encounter with a hyper-petty bureaucrat, a once fat schoolmate become skinny actress; a lovely but senile old lady and her armchair; and a beautifully portrayed old man in a bar. Reminiscent of Truffaut's Antoine Doinel films, early Godard or Rivette - even the soft-jazz music score evokes the French New Wave - this winner of multiple awards, including German Independence Audience Award and Best German Film - is a hugely enjoyable introduction to a brilliant young director. Don't miss it! - Charlie Cockey Preceded by the short film: Better Than A C; PTP film; 3min; You cannot start the race if you don't know why you are running.
