| In this German comedy that shows 6 characters in search of love, director Yves Yuri-Garate and screenwriter Andre Schneider bring a light touch to a hip urban tale. Alex (André Schneider) walks in on his boyfriend fucking someone else – and out he goes – much to the relief of his friends Tobi (Udo Lutz) and Steffi Graf (Sascia Haj) (and yes, the character not only has the unusual name of the tennis star, she is a gossiping astrologer therapist). Porn star/actor Marcel Schlutt stars as Leo, who reveals to his girlfriend that he's got sexual feelings for men and it's best that they break up.
Six weeks later they all have a wild night at a Berlin performance art club. Leo goes out with his friend, who happens to be a patient of Steffi’s and Alex goes out with his friends. Tobi is smitten with a gorgeous waiter, but he loses the power of speech whenever he sees the man. On a wondrous night, Alex meets Leo, and Tobi discovers his waiter (and they go home together). But what about Steffi?
The funny movie ALEX AND LEO vibrates with the energy of the hip Kreuzberg streets and clubs of Berlin where it was filmed. German Spoken, English Subtitles |
