Weak hometown flavor.

If a little white lie a major disaster after itself: The Bavarian success director Marcus H. Rosenmüller told in "The Perlmutterfarbe" a simple parable about Mitläufertum and guilt - but so cute as kids carnival comes to postcard backdrop.
  Tradition of solidarity and love of home can now do not produce on the assembly line - not even in Bavaria. Even then, unless the director Marcus H. Rosenmüller means grundsympathisch and since his Debüthit "who died earlier, is more dead," as an expert for the new, totally unsentimental and unverkitschten Heimatfilm applies.
Since the - entirely deserved - Triumph of these so charming as tragi anarchist in 2006, the impressive 1.8 million viewers into the cinemas stream read works of Rosi, "as the director of his Bavarian friends called, as at the assembly line. Two films per year, he has been on the market, all played in southern Germany and maintains a hearty Bavarian dialect: 2007 came the rather flat Bobfahrer comedy "seriousness guys" and the thoughtful coming-of-age film "Best Time" . 2008 was with "best area" the continuation of the "best" trilogy tuned, and the pompous, but hard riot accident spectacle "Räuber Kneissl.
Now follows with "The Perlmutterfarbe" is an innocent family-friendly story about friendship, truth and falsehood, "as the subtitle before then with" best chance "the third part of the trilogy coming home.
So it is quite something going on in the house Rosenmüller and surprised that his creativity as much in machinery output is not long into stuttering is advised. From the outside, everything is running as lubricated: What equipping the scenery with innumerable details are concerned, bursts "The Perlmutterfarbe" absolutely against incursions. There are not only cute village views, darkly winding factory buildings and a cake decorated with the very best pastry shop to admire, but also bizarre gadgets such as an elaborately constructed tickle-torture machine, too.

What, however, the substantive implementation of the solid "Children novel for almost all people" , which the Jewish writer Anna Maria Jokl end of the thirties wrote, is concerned, are below the historic home of the varnish film so few visible deficiency symptoms. Repeatedly sliding Rosenmüller in those picturesque from kitsch, to avoid the times he was famous.
A horde rotbäckige children trippelt and trappelt 1931, shortly before Hitler came to power, such lausbuben hampered by the postcard-like scenes of a snowy village that they were in grandma's picture back feels. The inevitable snowball fight may be just missing, as senseless and Mutproben archetypal adult roles. Since gestrenge would be about the teacher, the peculiar magic of women, the arrogant and the insolvency overstretched, but loving single mother.
The plot is pedagogically valuable: By a concatenation of stupid coincidences gets shy Siebtklässler Alexander (played by Mark Krojer, Rosenmüller knuffigem child star of "Who dies sooner is longer dead") in the possession of a bottle with a mysterious shimmering Perlmutterfarbe to be Harry Potter mole-like friend (Dominik Nowak) has invented for the annual painting competition at school to win. By a further coincidence is stupid and it ruined by a dubious rassenkundliches book that Alexander from another classmate has borrowed, with the aim of templates for the upcoming painting to be found. Ruckzuck lands it in the oven.

A large proportion of students enthusiastically endorses the totalitarian organized gang and harassed all outsiders. Even Alexander I of his precarious situation initially no different than the pre-fascist activity mitzutun.
What Rosenmüller really well, is, in the naive and often distorted experiences of children hineinzuversetzen. The adults act is all so unreal, such as powdered zombies are harmless and misconduct problems and press the child's souls as terrible nightmares. Also, he finds in some places such as along the impressive images for the burgeoning Nazism and its seductive power: There are books burned, her hands raised to greet and intellectuals denigrated.
Overall, however, does "The Perlmutterfarbe" like an transferred to Bavaria mishmash of "War of the Buttons" and the Neuverfilmung of "The Wave". The difference is that these two films their issues much more convincing manner than the hurry along timbered Rosenmüller factory. What remains is a fader aftertaste - despite all the hometown flavor.
