Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Toni Erdmann (2016)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Maren Ade based the character Winfried on her own father, who wore a pair of fake teeth she gave him as a gag gift to play practical jokes; she also drew on the comedian Andy Kaufman's alter ego Tony Clifton.
- Paramount Pictures signed Jack Nicholson and Kristen Wiig for an American remake of Toni Erdmann, but in August 2018 Nicholson and producer Lena Dunham withdrew, effectively stalling its development.
- At the 29th European Film Awards, Toni Erdmann won five awards, including Best Film, a first for a film directed by a woman.
- Maren Ade set Toni Erdmann in Bucharest partly because many German companies had begun doing business there at the end of the Communist era, sending foreign consultants to "change the system" and help businesses turn a profit.
