If you want to watch a modern/contemporary treasure hunt with fairy tale elements and great video art, you do not have to watch the Europeans-hostile Indiana Jones, you can watch Cleo - a really fine movie with the most wonderful Marleen Lohse - known for her work in the great show "Nord bei Nordwest" alongside Hinnerk Schoenemann - who has the appearance of some kind of magic fairy herself. You can also learn something about Berlin's history (including the contemporary problem of German cities suffering from the ongoing danger of bombs from the allied forces who threw recklessly masses of them on the civilian population causing great harm up until now). If I were to criticize something, I would have chosen a different actor than Jeremy Mockridge, he didn't work for me at all as the male counterpart, and I do not agree that Berlin is the (only) city with a soul, I think it is the opposite, there are many great welcoming, warm (big) cities (with soul) in Germany, Berlin is just an ugly, grey, chaotic moloch to me (much history and art, yes, but not friendly and warm). Therefore one star less. Otherwise a wonderful tale/movie, atmosphere-wise a bit like Tykwer's The Princess and the warrior.

Cringe deluxe. The Germans managed to ripoff Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Amélie...twenty years later and not remotely as chatting charming as the original...
