If you loved Nowhere in Africa, try All About Me
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Caroline Link, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Nowhere in Africa, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What All About Me is
The standard childhood-trauma-as-comedic-fuel movie, this time from Germany. The young Hans-Peter copes with his mother's depression through impersonations and precocious charm. It may not be hilarious, but at least it's heartfelt.
