The movie "Oktoberfest" is on general release at cinemas from today (Thursday 1.Sep.2005). The film is a "comic tragedy". It tells seven stories, each of them separate from one another but occuring simultaneously. The setting is the last day of the festival. The theme is about love, destiny, and how people are drawn together at the festival only to be pushed apart again. The movie was filmed at last year's Fest.

This is a German language film. It is currently showing at the Mathäser (Karlsplatz) and Marmorhaus (Leopoldstrasse) cinemas. Apparently there's an English subtitled version available but it's not known where, if anywhere, will be showing it. Cinema München doesn't have it listed.

It appears to be seven different stories woven into one. Sort of a "Love Actually" at the Wiesn.
I thought this about that naughty Duran Duran song.

Die Bilder und die Musik sind sehr intensiv
Ha. Yes, the German renditions of Country Road and Hey Baby are very complicated and musically fulfilling.
Sounds boring
Sounds good to me.
It was filmed during last years Oktoberfest.

"Like the gondolas of the ferris wheel, the individual stories spin around an axis, are held together and put in motion by it. Sometimes they reach the same height, sometimes just a glance of one another, but they are always in motion. The stories all occur simultaneously, and are dramatically linked and interwoven. The shared surface of these stories is the Oktoberfest. There the various episodes find their beginnings, and sometimes their end.
The Oktoberfest is over ... What is left?"

I've read some very favourable reviews of this movie, and the cast is excellent. Definitely worth a lot, I think.
I saw the sneak preview on Tuesday at City Kino on Sonnenstrasse. It's in German, with short scenes in Italian, Japanese, French (with subtitles), English (interestingly enough without subtitles) and Bairisch (without subtitles). Even if your German isn't great, you can still follow what's going on and get the jist of the dialogue. Throughout the entire movie, I was also trying to spot anybody I recognized, but didn't. All good, I still recommend seeing it.

Well, imagine if there had been TT T-shirts around. Then, I'm sure you would have seen at least one
Just heard a review on the radio, I'm not a huge cinema fan but sounds interesting.
The movie will be shown on Arte, the Franco-German cultur channel, this Wednesday, 6 June, at 11.25pm, and again on 11 and 19 June at 2.55pm.
Is this movie out on DVD or VHS? I'd like to see it, but obviously can't get it on television.
I saw it on Arte recently. I thought it was pretty cute overall, nothing earth-shaking but well worth watching.
AT, the imdb page says the release date in the US was in January 2006 but the only DVD version I can find on Amazon.com is the German edition.
