En mi cuarto

Dir. Ulrich Kohler. 2018, 119 min. German with English subtitles. Digital. With Hans Löw, Elena Radonicich, Michael Wittenborn, Ruth Bickelhaupt. The latest film from rising German auteur Ulrich Kohler follows a man who’s lost in life and beset by a recent passing. Armin has nowhere to go and just as little to show for himself. Fate – or something like it – intervenes when Armin awakes one morning to discover that seemingly all of humanity has disappeared, leaving him to his limited devices. It’s a situation ripe for self-discovery, but the gift of maximum freedom comes with complications. “A film of meticulous details and sly, subtle ironies… Köhler takes a disarmingly realistic and restrained approach to a fantastical premise: the eternally popular fantasy of the last man on earth.” – Dennis Lim, Comentario de la película. A Grasshopper Film release.
