A Friend of Mine

A Friend of Mine (Ein Freund von mir, 2006) is a German drama to watch online on iFILM, directed by Sebastian Schipper. Karl is a reserved man who speaks only when necessary — a financial analyst sent by his boss to manage a car rental branch. On day one he meets Hans. Hans talks.

Hans talks about everything, to everyone, without stopping. Karl finds him insufferable. But somewhere between shared lunches and late drives in borrowed cars, the distance between them quietly collapses. Daniel Brühl and Jürgen Vogel make the film feel lived-in and unforced: two men who would never have sought each other out, stuck together long enough to stop caring about the difference.
