In memory and honor of Peter Simonischek, who died yesterday, at the age of seventy-six; his exquisite antics in, and as, Toni Erdmann are the film's raison d'être and one of the best recent comedy performances—one of the most original and memorable recent performances overall.

@tnyfrontrow Yes, I think this is the first and most prominent example of TRUE 21st century comedy acting. It has so little 20th Century comedy in it that I almost dismissed it on first viewing.
