AroView: An unclassifiable, often brilliant German comedy where a stern, career-focused woman is followed around a series of board meetings and social events in Romania by her hilariously eccentric dad, who develops a surreal alter-ego which forces her to confront their differences.

The awkward, deadpan style is tempered by a genuinely moving portrayal of a father and daughter estranged by generational and political divides, while several set pieces stand out as something you’ve never quite seen before.

“Balances laugh-out-loud absurdity with excruciatingly understated tragedy” ~ Mark Kermode, The Guardian
