Hamburg in the mid-1990s: following a breakdown and a stay in a psychiatric ward, Charly Schmidt lives in assisted accommodation. He’s kicked his alcohol and drug habit when he meets old friends from Berlin, who now earn a lot of money as music producers.
Instead of his prescribed holiday, Charly takes a job with them: he’ll drive their tour bus through Germany and take responsibility for running their rave tour. Magical Mystery is an entertaining, techno-reinforced road movie in which, as so often, the journey is the goal.
The German Film Festival 2018 is a fine selection of internationally acclaimed films from Germany, Switzerland and Austria in German with English subtitles. Courtesy of the Goethe-Institut.
Duration: 111 mins
Rating: M – drug use & nudity
