St. Pauli-Film: "back straight" degenerates into name-dropping game

In Millerntorstadion is brewing. The rise of FC St. Pauli is imminent, and all totally out of the deciding game. What matters in this football film, but is not "encouraging place", but rather the trappings. There you meet people from all walks of life, fans of the neighborhood clubs and let off steam.

For example, Arne (Fabian Busch), who is shooting a film about two people who he accompanied to the final whistle of the game with the camera. Moritz Bleibtreu plays a slick Immobilienhai, the gentrification is trying to develop in the district and only contempt for the present tenant has left.

The employee finds his life annoyed Natasha (Natalia Avelon) is not good, but they do not quit anyway. Your friend Magnus (Timothy Jacobs), left her because he does not take enough care of her. Dear is the night on the road to light cars. Very loosely sketched individual stories connects "back straight" to the wild punk dance, which is peppered with shots from the stadium that reflect the unique atmosphere impressive.

Among the images is of a pulsating soundtrack that drowns out some dramatic weakness. Often, however, not clear where the journey really is. "Chaos Days" director Tarek Ehlail many prominent performer has built into the film, which in their mini-rolls can hardly develop. Mario Adorf as kiosk operators as the cliché of a good guy.

There are also guest appearances by "you, Uwe" Seeler and Karl Dall that are only for the name dropping. In addition, Ehlail has taken some questionable liberties in dealing with violence. This in advance controversial trashy film is also intended as a declaration of love for this particular football club Hamburg.

And to the reputation and his unconventional a polished, edge-free story would not fit.
