Peanuts - The bank pays everything is a comedy film by the director Carlo Rola from 1996. Ulrich Mühe embodies the unsuccessful but resourceful building contractor Jochen Schuster in the lead role .
action
The Frankfurt contractor Jochen Schuster is on the verge of desperation. He is so heavily indebted that no credit institute wants to provide him with additional funds. Actually, he ought to file for bankruptcy, but a saving idea occurs to him: He buys a wig with the last of his resources and borrows a limousine. Under his new identity, disguised with the wig and in the impressive limousine, he drives up to various credit institutions.
His plan initially works: the institutes - above all the Germanische Bank - grant the man who is unknown to them loans in the amount that disguised Jochen Schuster demands. Since he intends to use the borrowed money to preserve German cultural goods, the banks see no risk in the transactions. Now that funds are flowing in the desired amount, Schuster becomes cocky and falls back into his old business models, which have already driven him to ruin under his real identity. The same thing happens to him now under his new identity.
Production notes
The film opened in German cinemas on March 21, 1996. The filming locations were Berlin , Bonn , Düsseldorf , Frankfurt am Main , Italy , Kronberg , Leipzig , South Africa and Wiesbaden as well as the Drachenburg Castle near Königswinter, which was not yet renovated at the time .
background
The film is based on a real event: The building contractor Jürgen Schneider failed in the same way under false pretenses. Jürgen Schneider's attempt to have the film banned shortly before the premiere for violating his personal rights was unsuccessful. The court decided that it was clear to every viewer that it was a satire and not a film with claims to truth. Thus the personal rights are not violated.
Reviews
"Satire, loosely based on the 'Deutsche Bank'"
"Quickly staged and acted, the film always sticks to the patterns of common satire, without being able to illuminate the 'Schneider case' as a reflection of German economic culture."
