An unsuccessful singer at the regulars’ table: In “Rickerl” Adrian Goiginger once again tells of someone who is lost in life – melancholy, floating, beguiling cinema.
Cheers to the dialect that changes the rhythm of everything. Viennese is spoken in Adrian Goiginger’s film, so Viennese that it needs subtitles. The language affects the flow of the film, which swings from the adventurous to the dreary, without one being able to predict whether it will do so straight away or whether it will still take a break, like a sentence that comes across as more tedious in the dialect than it is on High German. This gives the story feeling and weight, even though it is actually just a hint of a story.
