VINCENT, a struggling art-thief and failed artist, stole Malewitsch’s legendary abstract painting the „Black Square”. The sale and handover to a Russian Oligarch and his designated art expert MARTHA is set to take place on a cruise ship. When Vincent and his younger partner NILS realise that their principal accomplice will not show-up to provide the boarding tickets and fake ID’s, they desperately overbear two men in order to sneak their way onto the ship. To their horror they quickly learn that their victims are part of the cruise ship’s entertainment act. Desperate not to blow their cover, Vincent and Nils take on their roles as David Bowie and Elvis Presley doubles with varying degrees of success. Despite his best efforts, Vincent’s talents hardly convince the passengers and it does not take long until various crew members discover their true identities and the value of their loot. A wild goose chase for the “Black Square” breaks loose in the belly of the cruise ship…

Watched this for Sandra Hüller, but enjoyed myself more than I thought I would!

The old man was really funny, especially in the solo dancing bit. They got a lot of mileage out of the David Bowie and Elvis gag. Had fun :))

The Black Square
Let this movie be a warning to myself, that the next time my father tells me that "my movie" is coming, I will just ignore it and continue doom-scrolling on TikTok. Probably would have been the better choice here.
This movie is probably Top 10 worst (full-length) German movies I ever hade the misfortunates to watch, thanks to "deutsche Filmförderung".
To stay somewhat honest, I watch only about 80% of this and also with like 60% of my attention (rapidly declining the longer the movie was), so maybe if i would have gone all in it would have been better ( i doubt it.)
This movie only really gets one star, because one of the last scenes (the magic show) did make me laugh, it might have been desperation though... (There was a small tear in my eye, and not of laughter).
