Mundl - Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter

A faithful family has gathered around "Mundl": his wife Toni, who says little but always has the last word; his son Karli, who marries Irmi, a woman from "higher circles", and his parents-in-law, the Werners, who have some difficulty in getting accustomed to the coarse tones of the Sackbauer family. Then Mundl's daughter Hanni brings home a bespectacled intellectual, of all people, and altogether, everyday life in Vienna can be rather exciting.

Directed by Reinhard Schwabenitzky, Mundl - Ein echter Wiener geht nicht unter leans on a strong ensemble — Karl Merkatz, Ingrid Burkhard, Erika Deutinger — 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 1994.
