I saw the antman at the fantasy film fest and was totally surprised. What on earth was the director thinking - this is a truly fun movie.  Something you can't say about Germany films in general.  The story takes place in Mexico in the strange and deserted village Campo del Sol.  Mexican war hero Don Jose (Götz "is-he-sexy" Otto)takes his just married wife home to meet the family - but there is none.  Only strange people, like the major (Elisabeth Volkmann) who swares and sings all the time and is married to an indian (Goiko Mitic) - what a great casting!  On the other side of the street lives a totally luny man, who turns out to be a mexican super bad guy.  A man who wants to cross ants with humans - and he picks the heros wife.  Does it sound like the plot to a B Movie.  It sure is, but one with a lot of fun and singing.  This is new in German cinema - we need more of that.  Sit back and enjoy the antman and sing along.

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations. Comedies are created with the primary intention of eliciting laughter and providing lighthearted enjoyment. They encompass a wide range of styles, tones, and themes, appealing to various tastes and audiences.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

The sci-fi genre, short for science fiction, features imaginative and futuristic concepts that are often rooted in scientific principles, technology, and possibilities. These stories delve into "what if" questions and can serve as a platform to address contemporary social, political, and ethical issues by projecting them onto future or alternate settings.
