'American Fiction' Speaks Truth
American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
Keine Ehe ohne Pause
No marriage without a break, no career without a crisis: writer Max Mangold experiences both. First, the highly successful author of fiery heartbreak novels under the pseudonym Jana van Hausten suffers a severe writer's block, then his wife Susanne tells him that she wants to go to Rostock University for a year - ostensibly for the sake of her career. Coincidentally, her old childhood sweetheart, the fisherman Jörn, also lives there. Without further ado and driven by jealousy, Max travels there to fight for his marriage. And then he has a fateful encounter with hairdresser Nancy, who is a hardcore fan of Jana van Hausten.
