A very funny film located in the early 80's
11 August 2005
Great music, very funny story, wonderful actors. A young so called manager (Tom Schilling) wants to get more success for his band "Apollo Schwabing" (Stadlober and the very pretty Jessica Schwarz), so he organizes a huge festival with "D.A.F." as headliner. The problem is, that the band "D.A.F." don't know anything about that... If you raised in the early 80's in Austria or Germany like me, the film is a great reminiscence to that time. The music (D.A.F., Human League, XTC and the songs written in typical 80's NDW style for the fictional band Apollo Schwabing), the fashion, the youth cultures (punks, new wavers, "ökos") and even the TV spots, its all so authentic ! But even younger people could like this film, because the best is the very funny story and the real great camera. Have fun !
