Audience Member Great little film from Bavaria - sweet, charming, and quirky. I'd never heard of it but it's well worth the time. The German title leaves the English for dead - "The sooner you die, the longer you're dead." That's the kind of film it is. Get it if you can. You'll enjoy it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a very funny yet touching comic drama about the weirdness of everyday life. Set in a small Bavarian community, it looks at the relationships within a dysfunctional all-male family. 11 year old Sebastian, known locally as der Chandler-bub (the baby of the Candler pub), is a loveable rascal, but his older brother blames him for their mother's death. Sebastian sets about trying to remedy the loss of his mother, because his guilt for this supposed crime, as well as other misdemeanors (watch out for a hilarious medieval courtroom dream sequence) weighs heavily with him. Markus Krojer lends the role of Sebastian a tremendous amount of warmth and believability. The rest of the cast are also excellent, with finely judged performances. Watch out for a delightful laundry scene involving Sebastian's father. The one real detraction is that I have not been able to get hold of a copy with English subtitles. My German is good, but this film is in Baiirish (Bavarian dialect), with High German subtitles. Copies with English subtitles are very rare. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review nicolas b If you're german and not bavarian, watch this in english. I didn't understand half of the dialogue due to bavarian accent which is a shame because the movie has it moments (A little kid asking the teacher to have sex with him is always funny). But in the end its just random event after random event, which obviously work together perfectly and makes the story feel really artificial.
