Director Philipp Kadelbach is now internationally a large number. Series “Our mothers, our fathers” to be the television conquered the 2013 world resulted in political debates on the borders, and won an “International Emmy” in New York. In the past year, Kadelbach turned up in the UK, two series for the BBC and Sky.

Kadelbach: asked and prominently

Since a few days Kadelbachs series “perfume”, based on the eponymous Bestseller by Patrick Süskind, is still one of the most successful German post-war runs in German television, in addition, novels at all. Quasi-in-between has turned in 1974 in Frankfurt-born Film and television Director, a film – on Thursday (22.11.) in the movie theatre So a lot of time,””.

Jürgen Vogel with an impressive Nerd-Beard “So much time”

“So much time” is a Film for the nostalgic. It tells the story of five former friends who were able to celebrate in the 1980s in the Ruhr area with her Band “Bochum stones” some triumphs. However, the success was rudely interrupted when guitarist Reiner (Jan Josef Liefers) raged during an appearance on the open stage against a member of the band Ole (Jürgen Vogel). Ole got injured hard. “Bochum stones” were now history.

The failed attempt of a comeback

30 years later, Reiner and Ole have no more contact. Pure, he is Kadelbach main protagonist in “So much time”, wants to take the Band to a Comeback. It is difficult enough to persuade the other three former cronies Bulle, Thomas and Konni (Armin Rohde, Richey Müller, Matthias bundschuh), so Pure at Ole bite on granite.

Jan Josef Liefers meets his ex-girlfriend (Jeanette Hain)

Ole is the only one of the five, has made something of his life: As a trendy Nerd in the German capital, he now leads a completely different life than his former friends. Pure, however, but also a COP, Thomas and Konni, more or less botched lives, both professionally and privately.

However, Pure does not give up, especially after he is sent after a visit to the doctor with a shattering cancer diagnosis home. He wants to know again…

Also, the “Scorpions” are a part of it

Now, think of Pure. For a concert with “Bochum stones” he would like to stand one more Time on the stage. So far, So good: “So much time” is a feel good Movie with tragic undertones, played by an Ensemble of popular German Film and TV stars. The performances of the female Co-Stars, incidentally, are short and manageable (Laura Tonke, Jeanette Hain and others). Also, the guest appearance of the German rock band “Scorpions”, which may be with a few scenes and sentences.

In short, the “Scorpions occurs” in “So much time”

As a template, Director Philipp Kadelbach on the eponymous novel of the Ruhr area served poets Frank Goosen. “So much time” is a Film for the nostalgic: German rock music and the Ruhr area, romance, friendship between crisis and awakening, botched existences and life – and music-comeback – these are the themes that the Film strikes. He does it with “the courage to be cartoon”, as put by a critic (of the North German broadcasting). One can agree with.

Whether you can be friends with the characters, must decide each of the cinema audience itself. It is certain, however: “So much time” relies on slapstick for psychological depth. Musically, So much time will satisfy only those who can do something with the rather brutish German rock music of those years.

The Film, “So much time” starts on 22. November nationwide in the cinemas.
