Nominated for an Oscar, Toni Erdmann is a remarkably touching and outrageously funny portrait of a father-daughter relationship. Ines is a highly-strung career woman whose life in corporate Bucharest takes a turn for the bizarre with the arrival of her estranged father Winfried. A practical joker with a liking for silly disguises and childish pranks, Winfried attempts to reconnect with his daughter by introducing the eccentric alter ego Toni Erdmann to catch Ines off guard, not knowing how capable she is of rising to the challenge. It is an extraordinary piece of film-making from Maren Ade, which showcases outstanding performances in its central roles, notably from the late Peter Simonischek. If you haven’t seen it, don’t miss it!
