Berlin Nights: Grand Delusions poster

Released in 2005, Berlin Nights: Grand Delusions is a drama film directed by Edwin Brienen, running about 89 minutes. “Happiness is hard to find... even in Berlin” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Claire, Romy, Magali, Loete, and Jim are typical Brienen’s characters: their excessive lifestyle rhythmed by sex and drugs puts them in the margins of society, refusing to believe in love or any kind of happiness. Lacking a better alternative, they take a trip to Berlin to perform in their own erotic-trash show. But in Berlin, trouble only begins. Styled images of lost souls straying through the night and their humide debaucheries transport us into an universe of the abject where all moral limits are eliminated by the character’s insatiable bulimia.

Who’s in it. Berlin Nights: Grand Delusions stars Eva Dorrepaal as Romy, Esther Eva Verkaaik as Claire, Nicole Ohliger as Marianne and Peter Post as Thorwald, among others.
