Very pleasant pumping film with Paul Kaltenbrenner. A film that immediately brings you into the atmosphere of dancing, hip music and having fun. Nice that there is a lot of attention for the techno beats that are very inviting to be sucked into the film.

In addition, you get an insight into the life of a DJ, the high goals that must be achieved by the record company, dealing with fame and success, the temptations of stimulants that are constantly offered to you as if they just belong.

The scenes in the setting are also fun to watch, comical even at times when Icarus presents himself as an unassailable casual fun maker. The person of Icarus then gets a little more depth, which benefits the plot. I'm not very familiar with the music world and I don't really have a favorite genre, but I will definitely listen to these tracks again after seeing this film.

Jumping out of the band in the clinic involuntarily made me think of One Flew Over The

Cuckoo's Nest thinking.

Paul Kalkbrenner's character comes across as a bit of a loose cannon.

He acts and acts rather impulsively, in which the many drugs undoubtedly play a role.

By the way, Kalkbrenner appears to act surprisingly well, and of course there is also soon

the question to what extent it is about himself. In any case, it appears that

character is very convinced of the quality of his music.

The film flickers back and forth from one weird situation to another where

Kalkbrenner is regularly off track, but fortunately this is not at the expense of the

consistency of the film: The common thread remains present and that is that of a stubborn

artist who lives for his music and to whom everything has to give way.

The soundtrack also, I think, is solely his music, and it seems that he

since this film has only become popular among enthusiasts.
