The film by German director Helmut Dietl “Rossini” (or the Eternal Question: Who Slept With Who), and the script for it was written by the notorious Patrick Suskind (“Perfume”), shot in 1996. In an expensive restaurant called "Rossini", the owner of which is the Italian Paolo Rossini, hence the name, the same audience gathers every evening, most of which are already well-established representatives of the so-called creative party. The main characters are producer Oscar Reiter and director Ugu Zigoiner, who are going to stage a film based on the best-selling Lorelei by writer Jacob Windish, who is hiding from society and resists this production in every possible way. These characters and some other characters are connected by rather bizarre connections, including love and sexual nature. But what looks like a comedy at first, in fact, is not at all her, and the degree of cynicism of the characters sometimes goes overboard. For the German film, this film has a slightly higher emotional mood, the main characters are played well.
