Sachertorte

Who would have thought, that after all these years it is still possible to still create such a witty, heartbreaking and yet total believable romance? At the same time the movie manages to create a Real feel of how it is to live in Vienna and/or visit Vienna and enjoy its famous places. For example: Whoever had the chance to have a Sachertorte and coffee in the hotel Sacher will concede, that the movie has captured it all. The setting is marvelous, the characters are totally believable and, you will feel a heart warming glow and perhaps relive the memory of how it is or how it was to be in love. Highly recommended, take the chance and enjoy.

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.

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!

More than twenty years ago Fatih Akin created one of the best Rom-Com Road-Movie combination ever made: "Im Juli". A young man meets the love of his life, only to loose her a few hours later. So, he follows her through a plethora of perils but with the help of a girl he accidentally meets, discovers the true meaning of love. "Sachertorte" is merely the same movie, however instead of being shot at, nearly drowning or ending up in jail, the protagonist here has to endure the hospitality of the couches in Café Sacher for a hundred something days.

So, this one is neither an homage to its spiritual influence nor its namesake cake the "Sachertorte". While the cake excels by not being to sweet, the movie reeks of artificial sweetener.

All in all, its watchable, but go see "Im Juli" instead to see what really could be baked out of these ingredients.

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.
