245. Forever Never Anywhere ( Immer nie am Meer )

Year of Release: 2007
Overall Rating: 2.5 out of 4 stars
Language: German
Genre: Comedy
MPAA Rating: NR
Director: Antonin Svoboda
Actors: Christoph Grissemann, Dirk Stermann, Heinz Strunk, Philip Bialkowski, Eva Maria Neubauer, Markus Hering
Plot: The set-up is simple: Three men get into an accident with their car on a deserted mountain road when they try to avoid hitting a woman who is jogging there in the middle of the night. The car gets off the road, rolls of the mountain until it dashes against a tree. Problem is: they can't get out. The car is an armoured Mercedes, that used to belong to former Austrian president Kurt Waldheim, bought by one of them at a bargain price. But now, the electric doors and windows won't open and they're stuck. Filled with brash and lowbrow humour, refreshingly unpretentious, and with a single set-up of three men stuck in the small confined space of a car, it's surprisingly entertaining. The film takes an even more bizarre twist when suddenly the three men become the subject of a young boy who starts using these men as live guinea pigs, instead of rescuing them.
