Warten auf Angelina

Description

Nothing is more persistent than an unconfirmed rumor. And the less likely it sounds, the more seriously some people take it. Years ago, when reports circulated in the German media that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were about to take up residence in Berlin, the media were mesmerized and kept churning out new reports where there was actually nothing to report. Film critic Hans-Christoph Blumenberg has made this initial situation the focus of his film Waiting for Angelina, which, in the guise of a summery light comedy, takes aim not only at the media's lust for celebrities, but also at the trials and tribulations of supposedly "normal" relationships.
