I felt some of the reviews displayed were rather unfair to such a beautiful little gem of a movie. It steps away from the mundane American teen films where all these teenage networks must come together for an audience to understand the movie or find some point or moral. The beautiful black and white photography is a fine artistic choice from Rihs, maybe in homage to his own crazy memories.The film is a study of the fickle teenagers lost in drugs, alcohol and sexual identity. Not to mention the wonderful critique of the bourgeois (the canal boat scenes) looking down upon these vagabond/rogue characters. They may look down but they still want a piece of the action.A very funny film which pushes the boundaries of what a viewer is capable of finding amusing. Sodomy of your grandmother may not be to everybody's taste but I just had to giggle.well acted, well presented and certainly well under rated.go on give it a go!

I saw the movie yesterday in the cinema. I was surprised to find it was only for people 18 years and over. Hey look how independent we are! We show really weird and disgusting stuff (because this happens in Berlin all the time).I wonder why so many people had a credit for the script. The small stories are all sooo exaggerated. No one has a real job in this film, how do they pay their bills? I guess there is no real message. It seemed to be a project to fill a boring summer.Final hint: Do not watch it on a big screen in the cinema, the b/w digital quality sucks! Rather wait for the DVD and see if you can laugh about it.

"Schwarze Schafe" ("Black Sheep" in English) is radical, non pc and totally different to everything you saw before. This comedy is daring and definitely over the top. Real Berlin-Style. Done without any sponsorship, some actors played for free and the whole movie is shot in black and white. So be prepared to see some scene you didn't expect and which you might find awful. Cinema-lovers who love to see something new and different should hurry up to see this exciting German comedy and laugh their ass off! All the others should go and see Harry Potter 38 and eat some popcorn for a nice evening. They won't like the movie anyway.
