action

The former Hotel Lunik in Eisenhüttenstadt

The setting for the film is the run-down Hotel Lunik (Russian for "little moon") in Eisenhüttenstadt , built in the 1960s, once the best address in town and the location of an Intershop . The siblings Franz and Babette fight against the consumer-oriented society by using gun violence to force gas stations and supermarkets to spontaneously “sell for free”. Embedded in this framework, the film tells of family mistakes. Franz rigorously refuses to live in a money-oriented world and takes in a crowd of supposedly like-minded people in the empty hotel, while Babette is secretly looking for happiness in an affair with the police investigator Max and her cousin Toni and his barman Viktor set up an "event bar" in the hotel foyer with level "wants to raise. The collision of these parallel worlds is inevitable.

Reviews

Kino.de called Lunik a “tragic comedy by author and director Gilbert Beronneau, whouses thesetting of a run-down hotel in Eisenhüttenstadt to present the relationships between a number of bizarre characters. The most prominent resident of the anti-capitalist mini-universe is Anna Maria Mühe ( What use is love in thoughts ). "Conclusion:" German tragic comedy with a hotel full of bizarre characters. "

kinofilmwelt.de judged: “Consumer orientation and individual freedom are just as much a topic of this German low-budget production as the family history of the siblings with the problems and conflicts resulting from them. Franz is so absurdly drawn as a character that a large part of the social criticism disappears behind the impression of a disturbed personality. With relatively few external shots, the film is sometimes more reminiscent of a theater production, in which the dialogues rather than the action drive what has happened. "

background

There is additional material in the DVD edition, including an interview with producers and actors about money, roles and Eisenhüttenstadt.
