Absolute Giganten (1999)

Absolute Giganten: Directed by Sebastian Schipper. With Frank Giering, Florian Lukas, Antoine Monot Jr., Julia Hummer. Three friends from Hamburg spend one last night on the town before one of them leaves the city forever.

“The last night together for three friends in Hamburg, before one of them will board a ship to Africa. Crazy, wild, touching. A tribute to their friendship and friendship in general. And a tribute to that unique Northern German city as well. Plus a fantastic soundtrack which adds a lot to the movie: lots of electronic music, some rock, fast, pumping, but also minimal in the lonely moments of the story. Not to forget the great cast of these three unlike friends – and the girl, of course. And, last but not least: A tribute to passion, to what is called u0026quot;Fernwehu0026quot; in German, the need to get out of where you are right now and see the whole big world, without – in my impression – forgetting the loneliness that accompanies the traveler who doesnu0026#39;t quite know where he belongs (yet?).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhat should I say? Itu0026#39;s a wonderful small big movie.”
