About Allmen and the Dragonflies
Generosity, weakness for expensive pleasures and ruin is a combination that does not bode well. Johann Friedrich von Allmen was a man with a taste for women and the expensive pleasures of life. Unfortunately, his luck has run out, but now a new opportunity presents itself.
Directed by Thomas Berger, Allmen and the Dragonflies leans on a strong ensemble — Heino Ferch, Samuel Finzi, Andrea Osvárt — 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 2016.
