Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "Little Mermaid", "I was a Swiss Banker" is a light-hearted gem of a summer movie. The story, set in an enchanted version of present-day Switzerland, is a lot less sombre than the fairy tale it is loosely based on. The prince is a clumsy banker, portrayed with childlike charm by Beat Marti. The mermaid (Laura Drasbæk) is a sexy diver, complete with weight belt, fishnet top and knife. The evil witch (Anne-Grethe Bjarup Riis) turns out to be not so evil after all, and a lot less powerful than Andersen's sea witch. Spectacular shots of the breathtaking Swiss scenery and weather are the heartbeat of this movie, a structural technique that is emerging as Imbach's trademark. Lakes are to "I was a Swiss Banker" what the mountains are to "Lenz". Arrive early and stay for the credits.
