Would it help if the guy at the other end of the beery debate was the handsome, accomplished, <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly likable German-Spanish thespian Daniel Br\u00fchl? \u201cNext Door,\u201d in which Br\u00fchl puts a thinly disguised version of himself through the psychological wringer, suggests not. The actor\u2019s slender, self-reflexive directorial debut transitions from a low-key meditation on the privileges and perils of stardom to a far-fetched stalker drama in the time it takes to down a few pints, all while rarely leaving the confines of one scruffy Berlin dive bar. Yet the film\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s of genre-shuffling and celebrity self-satire can\u2019t override the essential tedium of its core conflict.<\/p>\n<p>A lightweight selection in an otherwise predominantly solemn Berlinale competition, \u201cNext Door\u201d will doubtless prove a local crowdpleaser when the festival presents its physical edition in the summer. That should translate into healthy domestic box office in Germany, where Br\u00fchl is the kind of household name who can\u2019t walk a block without being stopped for a selfie, as the film underlines in a wry running joke. Elsewhere, it\u2019s harder to gauge what international distributors and audiences will make of a film that pivots not just on its director-star\u2019s public persona, but on the brittle politics and evolving <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> structures of Berlin in the 30 years since the Wall came down.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s some highly specific baggage weighing down an otherwise airily confected diversion: Still, landing as it does ahead of his big-ticket franchise duties in \u201cThe King\u2019s Man\u201d and \u201cThe Falcon and the Winter Soldier,\u201d it\u2019s hard to begrudge Br\u00fchl this kind of personalized palate cleanser. Indeed, his recent Marvel exploits come in for repeated ribbing in the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> by novelist and playwright Daniel Kehlmann (based on an idea by Br\u00fchl), which introduces us to slick, successful star \u201cDaniel\u201d as he heads to a London casting call for an inane-sounding superhero blockbuster. (It appears to be a reboot of \u201cDarkman,\u201d though paranoid producers are guarding the script as if it were the Ark of the Covenant.)<\/p>\n<p>While gruffly rehearsing villainous lines for the casting call, Daniel breezes through a typical morning of a charmed life: breaking a light sweat at the gym, swanning around his spacious, glassily modern loft apartment in Berlin\u2019s chic Prenzlauer Berg district, doting on his two kids before leaving them in the care of an obliging maid, and kissing his sleeping wife (\u201cAll Good\u201d star Aenne Schwarz, underused but potent) before heading to the airport. In a buoyant mood, he refuses the early car that was sent for him, choosing instead to take a time-out at his local bar before making his own way to his flight. That turns out to be a mistake: Among the establishment\u2019s few other patrons is Bruno (Peter Kurth), an embittered middle-aged neighbor with his sights set on ruining Daniel\u2019s morning, and more besides.<\/p>\n<p>What Daniel cockily refers to as his \u201cDanny Boy charm\u201d (an eager, laddish cheeriness that wins over industry folk and gawping passersby alike) meets a gray brick wall in Bruno \u2014 who lives in Daniel\u2019s building, not that the actor has ever given him a second glance. A former East Berliner whose life has stalled while his city has thrived, he resentfully sees the actor as the living embodiment of German gentrification. Daniel, usually so lacquered and unflappable, appears genuinely unnerved to encounter a vocal non-fan; rather than shrugging it off, his insistence on picking this scab keeps him from leaving the growingly tense bar, throwing his schedule ever more perilously out of whack.<\/p>\n<p>The longer they passive-aggressively snipe at each other, the more extensive and sinister Bruno\u2019s takedown agenda turns out to be \u2014 though if we could just leave this wretched watering-hole, a sense of real-world danger might even sneak into proceedings. Kehlmann writes this chafing clash of egos with an ear for petty human offenses and defenses that might have played more effectively on the stage, where we could feel wholly consumed by this claustrophobic setting. As it is, even as Bruno\u2019s nosiness tilts into outright sociopathy (thanks to Kurth\u2019s dry, expertly modulated performance), it\u2019s hard not to wonder why we \u2014 and Daniel \u2014 are spending so much time on him, when we all have places to be.<\/p>\n<p>Br\u00fchl, for his part, directs proceedings with enough sleek, nippy aplomb to make you wonder what he could do with a less self-oriented, bigger-picture script: An oblique, eerie finale, in which a cameoing Vicky Krieps displaces Daniel in the very space he has hitherto occupied, is suddenly more intriguing than anything else in the film. By the end of \u201cNext Door,\u201d you sense Br\u00fchl growing a little weary of his own screen presence \u2014 the clearest suggestion in this odd, hall-of-mirrors curio that he and the film\u2019s \u201cDaniel\u201d are not quite one and the same.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
