How generous, hilarious and surprising can the story of a prank-loving father trying to rebuild his failing relationship with his estranged and workaholic daughter be? In Maren Ade’s subversive hands, a seemingly simple relationship story becomes a rare cinematic gift that not only rightfully deserved this year’s Palme d’Or, but will also be hard to beat as the best film of 2016.
