![]() ![]() For that I thought it was a surprisingly conventional film, although one with a lot of charm. This is based on a renowned novel for young readers (which I didn't read) and was turned into a motion picture by what is arguably right now Germany's most famous director, Faith Akin. If not the revelation I was hoping for given the brilliance of Akin's best films ("Head-On", "The Edge of Heaven") it's still a likable coming of age film with it's own bittersweet take on the world. Of all Akin's earlier films probably the closes analog is "In July" (2000) – a familiar rom-com story given a personality through Akin's approach. Their bond is sweet, and somehow believable.īased on a popular young-adult German novel, "Tschick" is not as edgy, odd and original as most of Akin's films, but has just enough quirk and personality to keep it from falling into feeling too familiar, even if the basic story is a variation on something we've seen many times. His counterpart – the very hard to overlook Tschick - is an extremely tall Russian immigrant 'new-kid' with a silly hair cut and a bad-ass tough attitude. He just has the bad luck of not standing out enough to make him cool, so he's become a non-entity in his class. He's OK looking, not a bad kid, not a teacher's pet or a bad boy. There's no big, obvious reason Maik is an outsider. The odd couple of friends here are pretty endearing. ![]() Two 14 year old 'outsider' boys in Berlin form a friendship, and take off for the country in a stolen car, seeking adventure. ![]() This is going to be, hands down, the best summer ever.Ĭharming, amiable teen-age comedy with a few moments of sadness thrown in as well. Little by little-as Tschick and Maik set off on an unforgettable joyride in East Germany's great outdoors-they will find out the meaning of friendship, and the thrill of the first love. Under those circumstances, the unexpected arrival of the exciting new classmate, Tschick, will create quite a stir, when the class' rejects boldly decide to hit the road in an old "borrowed" light-blue Lada, going from uncool to cool in a split second. To further complicate matters, Maik's alcohol-dependent tennis enthusiast mother is in and out of the beauty farm-aka the rehab facility-and his real estate developer father is utterly indifferent. With the birthday party of the most beautiful girl in the class coming in less than three weeks, the diffident fourteen-year-old teenager, Maik, has a lot on his mind. Tschick (2016) is considered one of the best Comedy,Drama,Family movie in India and around the world. Tristan Göbel,Aniya Wendel,Justina Humpf,Paul Busche are the starring of this movie.

It turns out Tschick has a penchant for stealing cars, and it’s not long before he manages to get his hands on a blue Lada, convincing Maik to go south to visit his grandfather.

Translated into English as Why We Took the Car, it has now been brought to the big screen by German-Turkish film-maker Fatih Akin under its original title, yet is being released here with the more marketable name of Goodbye Berlin, making it sound like a World War 2 spy thriller rather than the irresistibly sweet, simple and often very funny road movie that it is.įourteen-year-old Maik Klingenberg (Tristan Gobel) is a somewhat awkward loner who lives with his alcoholic mother and wealthy frustrated father in the sole property on an otherwise empty Berlin subdivision, while pining for the most popular girl in his class. The late German writer Wolfgang Herrndorf’s 2010 coming-of-age novel Tschick was a huge success in the author’s home country, selling more than 2 million copies and drawing comparisons to such classic works as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Catcher in the Rye.Ĭast: Tristan Gobel, Anand Batbileg Chuluunbaatar, Mercedes Muller, Anja Schneider, Uwe Bohm ![]()
