Prix cannois de la Semaine de la critique, Pingpong est un film allemand et le premier long-métrage de Matthias Luthardt, sorti en 2006.

Film d'ambiance d'une nouvelle génération du cinéma allemand, il donne à voir un drame dans un milieu petit bourgeois à huis clos, entre un père absent, un fils névrosé, une mère esseulée et un neveu, élément étranger qui vient perturber le faux équilibre qui y régnait.

Synopsis

Paul, 16 ans, vient de perdre son père. Il débarque à l'improviste dans la famille de son oncle. À la recherche d'un havre où il pourra oublier la douleur de la mort de son père, il s'immisce dans l'univers de cette famille trop belle pour être parfaite. Après un accueil froid voire frigide, la femme de son oncle, Anna se rapproche progressivement de lui, en même temps que sa relation avec son fils est en train d'imploser. Sous la déliquescence apparente de cette famille petit bourgeoise, se cache le vice, sournois, de la manipulation, du mensonge et de la névrose.

Der Turm décrit les sept dernières années de la RDA avant la chute du mur dans l’univers d’une famille bourgeoise de Dresde, les Hoffmann. Le père est chirurgien, il assiste sans broncher à la dégradation du système de santé et à celui d’une société gangrenée par la peur. L’oncle est éditeur, il doit se soumettre à la censure en se contentant, avec une ironie froide, de profiter des privilèges que lui octroie le Parti. Quant au fils, Christian, il interrompt ses études de médecine pour faire son service militaire : son goût pour la liberté et son insolence lui vaudront la prison, puis les travaux forcés ; une descente aux enfers qui condamnera sa famille à un lent naufrage, à la fois tragique et absurde.

Unlike many ensemble films, the subplots of the film mostly do not interconnect with each other, and the film ends without a finale. Instead, the story threads illustrate life on the border between two countries; what appears to be poverty and desperation to some is a promised land for others, worth risking their lives to reach. The threads are:
