Head Full of Honey ( Honig im Kopf ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - Germany ]

Perfect condition but won't play on my American DVD player, only on PS4.

Very fast shipping, very good quality. People loved watching it.

I am surprised that so many other reviewers have taken exception to HÖNIG IM KOPF. The visual style of director/ star Til Schweiger takes a bit of getting used to (with fast intercuts between the characters, analogous to a pop video), but the action remains firmly protagonist-focused, especially on the relationship between Alzheimer's victim Amandus (Dieter Hallervorden) and his granddaughter Tilda (Emma Schweiger). The two of them remain close through thick and thin, even when Amandus appears to be losing his mind for good.The subject-matter is difficult to dramatize, as anyone who has experienced the trauma of coping with an Alzheimer's victim will testify. Amandus means well, but it's clear that he cannot cope on his own; he has lost his sense of direction, and has little or no connection to the outside world. Neither Tilda's father Niko (Til Schweiger) nor her mother Sarah (Jeanette Hain) can really understand the nature of Amandus's condition, and hence it's hardly surprising that Sarah should frequently lose her temper on seeing the carnage that her father-in-law has caused.The story takes a sentimental twist in the second half as Tilda and Amandus embark on an ambitious journey to Venice, where Amandus enjoyed his happiest days. Some of the plot-lines are highly implausible, especially in the way others treat Amandus, despite his medical condition. But perhaps that doesn't matter; we rejoice in the fact that the old man has a renewed purpose in life, which restores at least some of his connection to the outside world.Shot throughout in bright colors, with a particular focus on the glorious landscapes of Austria, Germany, and Venice, HÖNIG IM KOPF has a feel-good ending in which Tilda's parents come to understand the true purpose of their lives, while Tilda (who also narrates the tale) realizes that her bond with Amandus will survive, even after his passing.

The movie is completely made incoherent by the loud music constantly overplaying the dialogue. It is Intrusive, Idiotic,and completely without reason.A wonderful movie spoilt entirely by Warner Bros. of Germany who obviously never bothered to have any quality control. Over the making of the DVD.A waste of money.

An enjoyable feel-good movie. Til Schweiger takes a back seat and lets his daughter Emma shine. Stand out performance by Dieter Hallervorden who plays the grandfather with Alzheimer's.

Faktisch, tragisch und komisch und zugleich aufklärend.

Very beautiful film which makes you laugh and cry at the same time.

Schon ewig im Regal zu stehen und dann doch im Fernsehen gesehen...Tja, die Kritiker können ja über Til Schweiger sagen, was sie wollen, aber unterhaltsame Filme mit nicht unbedingt seichtem Hintergrund auf die Leinwand zu bringen, das kann er einfach. Zumal Deutschlands Schauspielriege gefühlt nahezu immer dabei ist und sei es nur als Statist.Zum Inhalt: Der Film beginnt mit der Beerdigung von Armandus' (D. Hallervorden) Frau und danach geht es mit ihm stetig bergab, er wird vergesslich und zieht bei seinem Sohn (Til Schweiger) ein. Armandus hat Alzheimer, die immer stärker voranschreitet. Seine Enkelin Tilda (Emma Schweiger) kann als Einzige damit umgehen und würde ihrem Opa gerne helfen, wieder gesund zu werden.... Das Team Emma Schweiger-Dieter Hallervorden trägt den Film mühelos ohne dabei allzu flach zu werden. Meiner Ansicht nach war die Szene mit der Autofahrt sehr grenzwertig, ansonsten waren die Gags gut getroffen, ohne die Krankheit oder betroffene Personen bloßzustellen und haben im positiven Sinne Laune gemacht, aber auch durchaus die Probleme aufgezeigt, die das Umfeld und die damit betroffenen Personen bekommen, siehe z. B. die Besichtigung einer Betreuungseinrichtung.Ein Glücksfall war sicherlich die Besetzung mit Dieter Hallervorden, der den Armandus wirklich toll darstellt. Nachdem ich auch den Film "Sein letztes Rennen" mit D.H. gesehen habe, muss man sagen: ein großartiger Charakterdarsteller, wer hätte das gedacht!Empfehlenswert.
