Synopsis
A Coffee in Berlin (Oh Boy, 2012) is a German tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. It follows one rambling day in the life of a young Berliner who simply cannot get a decent cup of coffee.
Niko is pushing thirty with nothing to show for it: he dropped out of university, his girlfriend has left, his father has cut off the money, and a court psychiatrist flags him as emotionally unstable. So he drifts through the city, bumping into an ex-classmate, a drunk neighbor, a lonely old man — the whole thing shot in smoky black-and-white over a loose jazz-drum score. Tom Schilling plays quiet bewilderment as something you can't look away from.
Jan Ole Gerster's debut swept the German Film Awards with six Lolas, Best Film among them. Melancholy, funny and warmer than it lets on — perfect if you love Jarmusch and slow walks through someone else's city. Stream A Coffee in Berlin (2012) online on iFILM.
