Directed by Leander Haussmann, Hotel Lux stars German multi-talent Michael 'Bully' Herbig as a cararet performer in Nazi Germany. After telling one too many Hitler jokes, he is forced to flee the country. Trying to make it to Hollywood, he gets as far as Moscow where he starts a new, even more bizzare secord career as a personal astrologer to Stalin. Thekla Reuten (In Bruges) also stars. Constantin Film bowed Hotel Lux in Germany last week, where it earned $627,000 (€456,000) in its opening weekend.
