Who the **** is Poppitz???

“Poppitz” is an Austrian Germna-language film from 2002, so this one will have its 15th anniversary next year. The director is Harald Sicheritz and he is also a writer here. He worked on the script together with lead actor Roland Düringer, who is perfect for the part and carries the film for the most time. I have seen other works by Sicjeritz and wasn’t too impressed, but this one here was pretty entertaining, especially in the first half. Düringer talks nicely to the camera in a style resembling to Spacey in “House of Cards” and these parts were nice additions too.

You could probably call these 95 minutes a holiday-themed comedy. But it is very dark as most Austrian humor these days. People die, get beaten up, commit suicide (apparently), cheat on their significant others, attend funerals and keep phoning instead behaving etc. The cast includes a whole lot of German and Austrian actors somewhat known, such as Bäumer, Dorfer, Wiesinger, Korittke and Hofstätter. I thought this film started off pretty great, but did not really stay that way. But it still stayed decent, which is why I would agree that this is among the better films from Austria of the new millennium. If you like the humor (also involving the supporting cast) as much as I do, then this will probably be a very rewarding watch. Go check it out.

happy holidays!

car salesman gerry schartl is on his way to dream holidays in an all-inclusive club at cosamera. He´s a smart guy, great in his job, and his life is perfect – well, nearly perfect… his wife is seeing a psychiatrist for two years, his punk daughter obviously dislikes her parents (and this trip) and there´s something about that German guy Poppitz his boss has phoned very frequently over the last weeks that makes schartl nervous. Anyway, happy holiday here we come… Not so fast – this vacation sonn will become a nightmare ( and a very funny one for the viewer of this movie) including lost luggage, cockroaches, the naughtiest club guests in the world and a funny(?!) animation program at the club. If you are Austrian and already know Düringer movies – watch this film; you´ll like it If you´re from somewhere else around the planet and have no clue – watch this film, too, it has superb lines (“Wüst du mi veroaschn???” – ” Ja. Morgen – geht das?”)

hilarious comedy

I saw this film in Austria a few years ago and loved it. I was just learning German, saw it without subtitles, and yet found it pretty easy to follow along. I was laughing hard in several places and found it to be a very amusing, enjoyable, goofy comedy. Not super satisfied with the ending, but overall it was well worth watching. Others watching were laughing hard as well and enjoying it even more, since they were getting the German vs. Austrian inside jokes. I didn’t get all the jokes due to the language barrier, but I still laughed quite a bit. Family vacation antics with a little bit of a Secret Life of Walter Mitty quality to it. I’m a pretty tough critic when it comes to comedies and do not laugh so easily at things that are supposed to be cute. As an example, I rolled my eyes and groaned while watching “Amelie”–didn’t enjoy it–although the masses adored it. I don’t recommend many comedies, but I do recommend this one.
