About Neander Jin - Die Rückkehr des Neandertalers
The Return of The Neanderthal Man is a screwball comedy with a Freudian twist. The story of a young woman's quest to find the perfect mate, who is embodied in a 10,000 year old Neanderthal Man. A tongue in cheek look at relationships in our modern age, The Return of the Neanderthal playfully examines all of our preconceived notions about love and romance and turns them inside out and upside down.
Directed by Florian Steinbiss, Neander Jin - Die Rückkehr des Neandertalers leans on a strong ensemble — Sarah Mühlhause, Jon Chardiet, Kirstin Hesse — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2009.
