Reviews

" Shrill, exaggerated mixture of melodrama and comedy, staged as a tribute to David Lynch and his film " Wild at Heart ". Distinctive lighting design, distinctive performers and exaggerated Genre pattern Oskar Roehler situate very personal film in a colorful pop- tale world, from which can be certainly not a guarantee of reality in the 1950s. "

"This is a crude mix and a fairly unique thing in the current German cinema landscape. " Lulu & Jimi " has some self-indulgent; the film loses control with joy. In one scene, a squad of World War II veterans showers stories are the best: " I had a friend in Stalingrad ," says a character named Harry hatred. "And you know what I have done to her? I have shot them and eaten. " " Lulu & Jimi " is not afraid to turn to the outside, what else remains under the carpet. "

" A very nice trip, the new Oskar Roehler work. And this in several ways: His romance " Lulu and Jimi " is a color noise, the heroes are on the run, the viewer can only hallucinate and have fun at the same time. Oh, and the film is also critical. "
