Just a quick note to let you know what I personally consider the most brilliant German film of 2007:

It’s Free Rainer starring Moritz Bleibtreu! It’s about a TV producer changing fronts, in order to save people from bad TV shows. He accomplishes this by manipulating the devices which are responsible for the viewing figures. Too bad only a few people are going to watch this film.

In addition, I recommend Shoppen, a film about speed dating. Now, this is where German cinema distinguishes from German TV.
