Black Sheep premieres at Edinburgh International
Film Festival to critical acclaim
Following its world premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival on 19th August 2006, Black Sheep the new comedy from Producer/Director Oliver Rihs made a huge impact on audience and press alike. James Rice, Head of Screenings at the Edinburgh International Film Festival commented
“I've rarely seen people respond so positively to a film...
the audience were whooping and cheering, clapping with
hands in the air...”

Press reaction was equally enthusiastic:

"Pure delight! The Berlin scene at its wildest, kinkiest, weirdest, funniest best.
The discovery of the season! Why aren't there more films like this?!!"
Ron Holloway (Moving Pictures)
 
"... a riot of filthy-minded fun ... packed with affectionate digs and in-jokes about contemporary Berlin and the misfits and black sheep who gravitate there.
Youthful, energetic and defiantly in your face, Black Sheep is powered by
punk rock spirit and overheated libido... Black Sheep is an anarchic multi-stranded odyssey that gives Clerks 2 a run for it's money on the sexual deviancy front."
Wendy Ide (The Times, Times Online) on 21 and 24 August 2006
 
Sometimes all you need are great characters, good jokes, and plenty of bodily fluids... like American Pie (without the prudish American restrictions) in the visual style of "À Bout de Souffle"...
great fun and a cult hit waiting to happen.

'An eclectic, madcap bleat into Europe's coolest city!"
Kaleem Aftab, Hotdog
 
'Anarchic, energetic, scatological, but well-meaning...
just like a night out in Berlin!'
Phil Hoad, Dazed & Confused
 
'I really enjoyed it, the outrageous, bad taste humour and the punk spirit reminded me of Clerks.
It might not be the deepest film ever but it's great fun!'
Virginie Guichard, What's on in London
 
"Refreshingly irreverent and definitely the most daringly
original comedy to come out of Germany in a long time."
Robert Fischer, Munich Film Festival
 
"Very funny and extremely entertaining..."
Heinz Badewitz, Hof Film Festival
