Life Is All You Get
Life Is All You Get is a 1997 German comedy film directed by Wolfgang Becker. It was entered into the 47th Berlin [International Film Festival] where it won an Honourable Mention. Joe Leydon of Variety praised the film as "an extremely engaging tale of life and love in a city where everything appears to be in a state of flux", and described it as "a smartly written and sharply observed comedy-drama. At its frequent best, pic has a fresh and larky charm that's reminiscent of fondly remembered French New Wave romances."
A literal translation of the German title is "Life Is A Construction Site".
