Tarta Sacher

Sachertorte which is a famous chocolate cake from Vienna and the title of this absolute gem of a movie.

This German film is bound to be a classic along side, Notting Hill, Love Actually and Serendipity.

Top notch acting all around, beautiful scener and lots of laughs and tears here.

This is simply a sweet little movie you cannot miss.

A superb romcom for your date night.

The world needs movies like this.

Highly recommend.

Sachertorte is a unique diamond of a romantic film with Vienna as a beautiful backdrop. I found the performance of the main actors very charming. I've watched the film several times and I always shed tears at the ending because it reminds me of the exact circumstances in which my wife and I met. Just when I thought "sachertorte" was the best dessert there was, friendship and time made me realize that I was an "apple strudel" kind of guy. I say this both figuratively and literally, because apple strudel is my favorite dessert! Now after 25 years of blissful marriage and two beautiful children, our love continues to grow every day.

For some films, you sometimes need a better knowledge of cultural or linguistic idiosyncrasies. This film is such an example, because when a Berliner comes to Vienna, a certain culture clash is pre-programmed. One reason for this is that Austrians don't really like Germans, actually they don't like Austrians either, only Viennese, but they don't like to admit that. So it's a bit like Parisians. Or New Yorkers. Anyway, Karl fell in love with the Austrian tourist Nini in Berlin, but no longer has her phone number. So he goes to Vienna, sits at the famous Café Sacher every day, eats cake and hopes that Nini will show up there at some point to celebrate her birthday. Meanwhile, he gets to know Miriam and it gradually dawns on him that there is more to it than a casual friendship. "Sachertorte" does a lot of things right, maintaining its easy-going narrative tone and having supporting characters that are almost more interesting. First and foremost is Fanny Swallisch, a resident at the Sacher who is a typical Viennese lady but whom you quickly come to love and whose lightning-quick humor works brilliantly for me. The somewhat awkward Mr. Schwartz fits in just as well as the rest of the staff at the Sacher, who become more and more involved in Karl's fate. Ultimately, this is a RomCom, so all goes well. And please don't expect more than a pretty film that doesn't hurt, but isn't a highlight of the year either.

Charming 21st century rom-com set in a historic city. This is a small story about everyday people. I enjoyed that the story was about folks like you and me.

Charm is difficult to show in films, but this film succeeds in delivery it. The set-up is endearing, clever and realistic, well, sort of. The meet-cute is meet cute.

I plan to watch it again.

We were watching Sachertorte yesterday and we had a good time. Karl from Berlin meets Ninni from Vienna. They instantly like each other. Ninni gives him her number but he looses it. So he goes to Vienna to have a piece of Sachertorte every day at Cafe Sacher, hoping to see Ninni again someday. Little did he know that he'll make new friends and new experiences during the process. Is he going to be the same when they meet again?

Sachertorte reminds me of good old rom-coms from the US and GB. It's fast, funny, exciting and the humour is on point. Also, Vienna is very pretty. I recommend Sachertorte! Check it out!
