Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Felix is a four-headed look at a one-headed male chauvinist. Ulrich Tukur plays Felix, an unreconstructed "love 'em and leave 'em" type who feels persecuted when women demand that he make a commitment. Felix's escapades are depicted in four separate sequences, each handled by a top female writer/director. The four creative spirits behind Felix are Christel Buschmann, Helke Sander, Helma Sanders-Brahms and Margherita von Trotta. Felix makes no attempt to hide its feminist bias, which only adds to the overall enjoyment of this prickly German comedy.
