"Jargo"
2004
Directed by Maria Solrun

Udo Kier stars in this unusual coming-of-age drama by Icelandic director Maria Solrun. After learning of his father's sudden suicide, Jargo (Constantin von Jascheroff) moves with his mother from their home in Saudi Arabia to Berlin. The young man has trouble adjusting to his new surroundings, although he gets some help from his father's ghost (Kier), who occasionally pops in for a late-night chat. Solrun brings a flare for magical realism to a lively, bittersweet, fish-out-of-water tale. With Oktay Ozdemir, Josefine Preuss, Marc Hosemann, and Nora von Waldstatten. German with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
