FREE ON ARD MEDIATHEK Dietrich Brüggemann - Renn, wenn du kannst

FREE ON ARD MEDIATHEK UNTIL 7.3.19 Is this the stuff from which cinema dreams are made? A wheelchair user and a person doing community service fall in love with the same girl. No? Yes, Dietrich Brüggemann does and his sister Anna Brüggemann also looks like a "real" movie star! All this takes place in a high-rise housing estate in Duisburg. Here lives Ben (Robert Gwisdek), who sits in a wheelchair and is somewhat bitter about it. Anyway, he uses his handicap to sadistically torture his Zvil servant Christian (Jakob Matschenz). His credo: He despises disabled people like himself and good people like Christian who like disabled people. But with his word Spielchen Ben creates something else (probably rather involuntarily): he attracts the attention of the beautiful cellist Annika (Anna Brüggemann). She also turned Christian's head, but Ben and Annika end up in bed together. Or does Annika really only want to silence Ben? But he wants to "talk". About unpleasant things like a penis pump. And then the greatest scene when Ben shoots his wheelchair out of the underground garage of the high-rise into life! At the latest here we are in a small big movie! Deitrich Brüggemann, who belongs to the narrow circle of Berlin indie heroes, finds his very own tone. Above all, he playfully infiltrates the genre of "handicapped drama". This is the scene in which Annika and Ben meet (which he previously only observed with binoculars). She throws a composer's bust through a closed window and a long splinter of glass bores through Ben's leg. But of course Ben feels no pain! By the way, we dive into the world of the wheelchair user - with very poetic cinema pictures! For may we not translate this splinter as Amor's arrow? Small shortcoming: Although Anna Brüggemann herself wrote the script, her character remains more a muse than a person. Does Annika have a life of her own? Conditionally. But that doesn't cloud the pleasure. When I set the DVD up for the second time, I noticed: "I'm watching a German comedy again! Incredible"
