This week, we discuss two celebrated German films.

The first is Toni Erdmann (2016), a comedy drama written and directed by Maren Ade. It tells the story of a father attempting to reconnect with his adult daughter. The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

The second is Victoria (2015), a ground-breaking one-take thriller starring Laia Costa as the titular Victoria, a young Spanish lady who becomes embroiled in a bank heist over the course of one evening in Berlin.
