Director Maren Ade has done something unusual-she has crafted a funny 2 hour and 42 minute German film in Toni Erdman (2016). Toni Erdman is the comic alter ego of Winnifred (Peter Simonschek) the father of an ambitious, if not humorless, corporate daughter, Ines (Sandra Hueller) stuck in Bucharest working on a project that seems to be stalling. Winnifred shows up in Bucharest and complicates his daughter's life with his unplanned visit. Finally he leaves after few days, and the film switches gears and becomes something altogether different. I very much enjoyed this film-it was truly original and entertaining.
