resentment

Starting at 77 minutes, the 70-second empty mirror can actually be longer, such as 100 seconds, which may be more in line with the style of the film and deepen the style. The more cheerful music at the end of the film is a bit unexpected. Maybe the director or the filmmaker is afraid that it will be too cool to affect the market or the worldview is not so resentful.
In this book, there are three other versions in my mind, one is Woody Allen's happy interpretation of bitterness, one is Richard Linklater's chatter, and the other is Quentin Dupieux's nonsensical and stubborn style.

PS From time to time short reviews are written as long as they are written, but there is no conversion key on the page. UI needs to be improved.

    It's a strange thing to be alive, it doesn't matter if you go from a fat girl to a performance art performer and challenge everything; or your wife has breast cancer and you have no sex anymore; or a genius or non-genius actor; Strange, finally found himself strange. Fragments, alive, laughs. WWII in contemporary performances and darkest memories, in Sebald-general images. A language you don't understand, even if you speak the same mother tongue

    I really got into a corner with the old man.

A Coffee in Berlin quotes

  • Julika Hoffmann: [to a thug] what kinda guy are you? Let me guess. You were born an alcoholic because your mom couldn't stay off the booze during her pregnancy. How could she, when she got beaten up by daddy when he came home from the pub?

  • Café-Shop Angestellte: So, what it'll be?

    Niko Fischer: Coffee, please.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: To go, right?

    [pause]

    Café-Shop Angestellte: What kind?

    Niko Fischer: Just normal coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Wanna try something new? Today's special is the Marocchino. For 2 Euros extra, you get a doughnut or a seed roll, all homemade and organic.

    Niko Fischer: I think I'll stick with the coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Sure, we've got two kinds: the Arabica and the Columbia Morning.

    Niko Fischer: Which coffee tastes most like a regular coffee?

    Café-Shop Angestellte: I like both.

    Niko Fischer: I'll take the Columbia.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: The Columbia, then.

    [pause]

    Café-Shop Angestellte: You want milk. We've got soy milk.

    Niko Fischer: No, thanks.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Okay, then. Three Euros forty, please.

    Niko Fischer: Without today's special. Just the coffee.

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Yes, three forty.

    Niko Fischer: Three forty for a regular coffee?

    Café-Shop Angestellte: Yeah, that's the Columbia.
