Reviews
The world of poker is like a parallel world that many people have no insight into. The sums of money that go over the table are fascinating. The Tyrolean daily writes: “'You need $ 20,000 for the World Cup in Las Vegas,' says the female voice. 'It shouldn't be your last money. You have to be able to lose it without batting an eyelid. ' Copony illustrates this mixture of self-confidence, numerical talent, discipline and a certain disdain for money with gigantic table ensembles, elegant card tricks and skillful movements. “ The standard finds that Katharina Copony skillfully describes the phenomenon of gambling addiction. “Copony uses his person to describe the feeling of isolation that comes with 'gambling addiction'. The drift becomes difficult to grasp in the film, which captures this parallel world atmospherically: It is most likely the locations, the tense air in arcades and tournament halls that give the instinct to play a face. ”In an interview with pokerzeit.com the director describes herself what she learned about "players" while shooting. “The process of playing has no right beginning and no right end. Time has its very own quality. In addition to maximum concentration and tension, boredom and monotony are important companions of the professional player. "
