Pepperminta is a woman who lives in her own world. She travels through Vienna and Zurich with Werwen and Edna . She has a very special relationship with colors and their effects on people and situations. The venues include the University of Vienna and the tram station at Maria-Theresien-Platz .

reception

Eduard Ulrich sees the film with mixed feelings and gives it 3 out of 5 possible stars on cineman.ch: “Pepperminta, the artistically gifted sister of Pippi Longstocking and probably the alter ego of Pipilotti Rist, seduces with her childlike charm and her naked body. It doesn't hurt that the message is clear soon. If you don't have to puzzle what it's about, your mind remains free for the intoxication of the pictures. They are clear and clean - Rist is a specialist, she masters slow motion, slow motion and fisheye, uses them extensively, almost excessively. Dramaturgically, however, the sequence of episodes and video clips by the highly gifted and educated Rist has not yet risen. "

Gini Brenner von Skip writes: "Your first movie is a happy, absurd, carefree, exaggerated trip full of grotesque scenes and beautiful images, which, as in her world-famous installations, unites apparent naivety with deep political awareness and great artistic density."

The lexicon of international film drew the conclusion: "A visually grandiose staged comedy with psychedelic echoes and many swipes against the establishment."

Awards
