Fun German Film

A FRIEND OF MINE is a wonderful little German film that feels both familiar and different at the same time. As an American viewer, it gave me the chance to see some regular German characters living their life. I don't speak German, but I can read the English subtitles. And in doing so I got a closer look at these Germans than I normally would have.

I got to see just how alike we all are. They deal with the same things we deal with. Apart from that, the acting and directing are wonderful. There are some really great moments in this film. Recommend.
