Men in the City

Men in the City (Männerherzen, 2009) is a German ensemble comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Simon Verhoeven follows six Berlin men who have almost nothing in common except this: their love lives, careers, and feelings are all falling apart at once.

Jerome is a music producer who treats women like a hobby. Günther is too shy to confess he's in love. Niklas, a polished executive, suddenly finds himself a father, while subway official Roland is sliding through a quiet family crisis. Their stories keep brushing against each other at a gym and across the city until a single portrait of male confusion comes into focus. The cast brings together Til Schweiger, Christian Ulmen, Florian David Fitz, and Nadja Uhl.

Light without being hollow, the film hides an honest question under its jokes about male panic: how do you grow up when you're already forty? A warm, low-gloss pick for an easy evening. Stream Men in the City (2009) online on iFILM.
