Kohlhaas or the Proportionality of Means
Deep in the Bavarian countryside Kleist’s historical drama Michael Kohlhaas is being shot. But instead of shooting a huge epic with impressive costumes and extraordinary props, grown-up men in suits fight with imaginary weapons. What has happened? Young director Lehman is fighting for his film, although all funds have been canceled. He’s convinced that the actor’s play and the fantasy of the audience will be sufficient. He fights for his vision as much as Kleist’s Kohlhaas fights for his rights. This film has to be finished. Whatever may come. Even if he has to go too far.

hyped garbage
Don't listen to the negative reviews
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The movie has some nice scenery and a clever "movie in movie" idea to offer, plus the occasional odd Bavarian character. Other than that I am sorry to say that it failed for me. The "use your fantasy" theme soon started to bore me (Lars von Trier's Dogville showed that it can be done right), the director's struggles became annoying. There was no character I felt attached to, although the acting was solid.Maybe my expectations were too high, I really liked the trailer. I did not have one laugh from this movie, but some other viewers did, although my impression was that they really tried hard.Maybe one should not be so harsh with a student project, but then again John Carpenter's Dark Star was a student project, too. However, it should be mentioned that the movie was technically executed without a flaw.
