Love according to Barylli in Barylli's Baked Beans
Although the spring sunshine is competing with movie theatres in Austria, Thimfilm has chosen this moment to launch romantic comedy Barylli's Baked Beans [+see also:

film profile], written, directed and acted by the man of letters, theatre and film Gabriel Barylli. The Viennese star, who was awarded the Austrian Cross of Honour for Arts and Sciences in 2007, has made a big-screen adaptation of his popular stage comedy Ohio, Wieso?, which takes a light-hearted look at the finiteness of love and, in the process, reveals its eternity.
Produced by dynamic Austrian company Novotny & Novotny, Barylli's Baked Beans begins with the end, with a love that is dead, literally, after Martin (Michael Dangl) and Maria (Isabel Scholz) ended up shooting at each other during an argument. How? Why? The answer comes from another love, that of Andreas (Barylli) and Clarabella (played by his real-life wife, Sylvia Leifheit), in a parallel world where everything happens differently.
Meanwhile, Stadtkino is trying to lure audiences with Gabi Schweiger’s local documentary Die Lust der Frauen ("Women’s Desire"), about female sexuality and mature bodies.
Audiences will also get the chance to discover Oliver Ressler and Dario Azzellini’s Austrian/German documentary Comuna en Construcción, about the actual results of "21st-century socialism" as advocated by Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez; and François Ozon’s French film Potiche [+see also:
