"Enlightenment Guaranteed"
2000
Directed by Doris Dorrie

The director of Men and Nobody Loves Me returns with a witty and humane comedy about two brothers traveling to Japan to visit a Buddhist monastery. When one brother's marriage falls apart, he calls upon the other to join him on a hastily arranged spiritual quest. The midlife crisis becomes more immediate when they find themselves in Tokyo without their passports, credit cards or money. "Enlightenment Guaranteed is as funny as it is nourishing, and it has stellar performances from Uwe Ochsenknecht and Gustav Peter Wohler, who play off each other like Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times). German and Japanese with English subtitles. 105 minutes.
