With her brilliant new book What Am I, A Deer? out in the world after a Cube-shaped launch in April, Bristol writer Polly Barton introduces this modern classic (and Cube favourite), which shares What Am I, A Deer?'s themes of corporate alienation, globalisation and awkward public singing.
Polly says: "Joyous and eviscerating in turn, Toni Erdmann captures with winning weirdness the loneliness of working abroad - and about a million other things beside. Nailing that all-too-rare combination of belly achingly funny and deeply affecting, it also contains what I consider to be the best onscreen karaoke scene ever."
Celebrating its 10th (!) anniversary this year, we couldn't be more thrilled to have this giant-hearted masterpiece back at our 'plex.
