The movie is excellent because it has a great direction, a genius screenplay and Paulus Manker as the homeless "Kallmann".

The other actors are good as well - and, what is very important, very natural and credible (some street scenes were filmed with real pedestrians) - but without Paulus Manker, who could be believed as a real homeless, because he liked his role that much (as i just mentioned, in some street scenes he is the only actor beside unsuspecting pedestrians who he shouts at), what we can see and enjoy when watching the movie - the film would miss its heart.

The direction and the screenplay work optimal. The film is not boring at any moment, but it is also not overloaded. The film scores also with spontaneous jokes and punchlines. Very funny scenes happen at the farm in the Czech Republic (and not only at the farm - the whole part of the movie in Czech Republic is very funny, because "Kollmann" speaks no czech, and the czechs don't speak German), where the farmer and his family wonder why austrians suddenly emigrate to the czech republic (in history it has always been the other direction).

One of the best and ambitious austrian movies of the last years - at least of this year.

Its a movie for the critics and the audience as well - thats what it makes a very special work.
