Toni Erdmann

Maren Ade’s film is a whimsical portrayal of an intrusive father’s unexpected appearance in the life of his career-woman daughter. Burlesque, poetic, deeply human under its clownish guise, Toni Erdmann was the sensation of Cannes 2016, where it received the FIPRESCI Award (before picking up a flurry of other awards). A comical yet disconcerting film, which delights in poking fun at the soul-sucking constraints of the corporate world.
