Toni loves his espresso machine. Paul loves his mobile phone. Toni cannot live without his hair pills, Paul cannot live without his sacred sneakers. But above all Paul cannot live without Toni and Toni cannot live without Paul. Although they are unaware of this fact. It is always about who is better or cooler, and the result is: they end up without any furniture or clothes, naked and freezing. And that is just Day One! 100 days: that is the length of time they have bet that they can do without everything. Everyday, just one object returns. And already they have become entangled in questions that never occurred to them before: what do we really need? Do we own our possessions or do they own us? Does free will even exist, and how often can one turn one’s underpants inside out again before they have to be disposed of as hazardous waste? (Berlinale)

Another of those pleasant German comedies from recent years, which are funny just enough to receive average rating. They neither offend you nor take your breath away; you have fun but don’t need to see them again. This particular one, however, has a bonus in the form of an unorthodox view of the consumerist society, which made me add one star to my rating.

Who would have thought? After all those bizarre comedies and even more bizarre porn, the Germans came with a film that was surprisingly enjoyable. To be honest, what I liked best was the opening guide to generations, that was perfect. Although the story gradually became slightly predictable, I still had decent fun watching it. Oh, and Zuckerman:-D

Probably the most original comedy of the last few years and surprisingly from the Germans. Two best friends drunkenly bet that they will give up all their possessions for 100 days, with the understanding that they can get one thing back every day. A great premise that makes for a number of comical situations and when you add in the two likeable protagonists you've got a winner. The film manages to mine emotion towards the end as well and I was both pleasantly surprised and pleased with the whole experience. 80%.

The consumerist way of life will one day completely consume us, so I welcome any attempt to do something about it or at least to draw attention to it. Even though the comedy 100 Things doesn't handle its theme in a particularly impactful or groundbreaking way, I don't have anything against this movie, especially when the story is accompanied by relaxing music. Not to mention that the central duo of Florian David Fitz and Matthias Schweighöfer are likable and very convincing. (70%)

The cinematic equivalent of a cashless marketplace, which is most suited to people who have a 'Live, Laugh, Love' sign on their living room wall and the impression that they're living the dream because they can walk around barefoot in their open office. At the end of the film, I threw a molotov at the screen. Kill yourself.
