Berlin & Beyond - Closing Night Film only
a warm-hearted and old-fashioned, yet thoroughly original boy-meets-girl story MRZMELODIE starts
with a charming, 1950s style animated title sequence that gently morphs into real-life action, resembling
Marc Webbs use of impromptu graffiti in his 2005 video for Daniel Powters Bad Day. Within
the first few minutes, gorgeous Katja (Jana Pallaske) breaks Thilos heart, only to have her heart broken by
Thilos best friend Florian in turn. Good thing Thilo (Jan Henrik Stahlberg) has friends acting as not-soclandestine
matchmakers, arranging for him to get romantically involved with Anna, a burnt-out schoolteacher
(Alexandra Neldel). Its nice to see Stahlberg, the prototypical hard man of MUXMUSCHENSTILL
and KNALLHART, as a head-in-the-clouds kind of guy. A touching performance by Inga Busch as Annas
best friend, a long-suffering working mum the action is interspersed with 10-second snippets from popular
songs, lip-synced by the actors. Highlights include Rio Reiser, Udo Lindenberg, Westernhagen, Nena
and the immortal Zarah Leander.
