Irren ist männlich

About This Movie

So, 'Irren ist männlich' is this oddball comedy from '96 directed by Sherry Hormann, and it really dives into the absurdities of modern relationships. You've got this lawyer, Thomas Neumann, who seems to have everything figured out – a solid career, a happy marriage with Bettina, yet he's juggling a mistress too. The twist? He finds out he’s infertile, and that just sends him spiraling into this existential crisis. The pacing feels just right, swinging between laugh-out-loud moments and those awkward pauses that make you cringe a bit. The performances are genuine, bringing a nice touch to the characters. It’s distinctive in how it combines humor with real-life dilemmas, making it a unique watch for those who enjoy clever comedies.

Interesting take on modern relationships. · Not your typical rom-com, more layered. · Subtle commentary on masculinity and societal expectations.
