TMDB: 6.1
==================================================

Edgar is in his late 60s and a big deal in German stand-up. Onstage, nobody pulls the wool over his eyes. He turns aging into material. Broken relationships. Ungrateful kids. Grandkids. Libido fading. Health sliding downhill. Death, too. He sells it like it’s all just another punchline.

But offstage, the act collapses fast. After the show he’s alone, sad, and drowning the silence in alcohol and, sure, groupies. Then, 25 years later, he runs into his ex-wife Eva again. She’s dealing with incurable cancer. Now they start getting closer, and Eva decides to tag along on Edgar’s tour through Germany and Austria.

It’s comedy with the lights halfway on. Funny sometimes. Uncomfortable a lot. Very human, in the least flattering way.
----------
Edgar ist Ende 60 und auf der Bühne der König der pointierten Selbstentlarvung. Er macht Witze über kaputte Beziehungen, Enkelkinder, undankbare Kinder, über schwindende Libido, schlechter werdende Gesundheit und ja, auch über den Tod. Klingt nach „alles wird gut“. Nur halt nicht für ihn.

Wenn das Licht aus ist, wird aus dem sehr extrovertierten Spätschicht-Lächeln ein einsamer Mann. Abende bestehen aus Alkohol und Groupies, so als könnte man damit die Leere übertünchen. Dann taucht nach 25 Jahren seine Ex-Frau Eva wieder auf. Unheilbar an Krebs erkrankt. Und plötzlich wird aus der Nummer „Comedy für Erwachsene“ ein ziemlich ehrlicher Roadtrip durch Deutschland und Österreich. Der Haken? Die schlimmsten Pointen kommen ohne Applaus.

Transkript
00:01My father left my mother because she was not young enough and was attractive enough.
00:05She came back as soon as it was maybe even late.
00:08Hello?
00:14She's doing good work.
00:16She's a designer of the Kakao-Linear Alters.
00:18Hey, Alter!
00:20She told me about the decision of her mother to do not therapy.
00:24What is that?
00:25Mikrodosier.
00:26LSD.
00:28If I were so sick, I would have to try everything.
00:32I have no time for this.
00:33That is my mother's decision.
00:35You have nothing to talk about.
00:37It's only about you.
00:38It's the big Edgar Rettung show.
00:40What is the secret of a long life?
00:43Die sterbe!
00:48This woman was the best mother you could wish.
00:51We didn't have any problems.
00:53Maybe a little problem.
00:54Sex.
00:56And you'll see her for a few poor people through the dirt.
01:00Have you got some kids out of here?
01:01What?
01:02You don't give me a chance, or what?
01:04That's the point of your life!
01:09You have every right to blame me on the world.
01:12And you don't do that.
01:13Edgar.
01:15I don't want to die.
01:17I don't want to die.
01:18And I don't want to stay in the rest of the time in your hospital.
01:20You have to stay in the house.
01:21You're the only one name.
01:25You're the only one name.
01:26You're the only one name.
01:27Oh, it's beautiful here.
01:28What's this now?
01:30That's another romance between you and me.
01:33My wife showed me what I've been a human being.
01:36Are you ready? Let's go!
01:38High, high!
01:40And what I can still be a human being.
01:42Maybe I will connect so many people tonight.
01:47You have a pretty great ex-wife.
01:54Can you bring me to me laughing?
