Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Miele-3 This film is based on the character of Charlie, a "student" ("for studying I´m too old.") living in Munich, prefering to lie in bed and watch the test-programme instead of doing anything else, which would include "much too much action". His precioust possesions are an article about heart attacks - he tries to give up smoking - and his "writer-jacket". The film starts as his girl-friend throws him out of her flat, cause he didn´t try to get a job. (He spent the whole morning watching people going to work and got nausea.) He shuffles to his mate Henry´s appartment ("Out again"-"Come in"), where he tries to relax. This doesn´t work, because his mate takes him with him to the Bavaria studios to make some money as super-numeraries, but Charlies ideas of using a subjectiv camera and only film him from the left, cause he considers this one to be his better side, lead to another throw-out. And to the historical comment from Charly to the porter " Go and get a spade - somewhere in this area the German film must be buried!" The other action Charly gets involved in is the arson at a department store (precisly the toilet of it as the "twice potentielled exponent of nowerdays consum-society")planned by the revolutionary friends of Henry and only executibal by Charly, who is the only one who manages to get locked in the building. But he isn´t really interested and uses the location for a date with the rich man´s daughter he got known to that afternoon, to have some fun with her at the camping-section. It all ends after some kind of car chase with the police ("Two driving-lessons are in fact too little")with Charly walking out of the scene, smoking a cigarette, commenting "You don´t even manage to quit smoking."
