Toni Erdmann

For aging, eccentric teacher Winfried Conradi (Peter Simonischek), it was a source of frustration that his buttoned-down downsizing consultant daughter Ines (Sandra Hüller) couldn’t make time for him in her life. His response was to don a painfully obvious disguise, and start insinuating himself into her workaday existence as a corporate life coach named "Toni Erdmann"--and the bizarre repercussions that follow fuel Marian Ade’s singular comic effort. Ingrid Bisu, Michael Wittenborn, Thomas Loibl also star. 162 min. Widescreen’ Soundtrack: German; Subtitles: English. In German with English subtitles.
