Life Is All You Get (German: Das Leben ist eine Baustelle) is a 1997 German comedy film directed by Wolfgang Becker. It was entered into the 47th Berlin International Film Festival where it won an Honourable Mention.[1] Joe Leydon of Variety praised the film as "an extremely engaging tale of life and love in a city where everything appears to be in a state of flux," and described it as "a smartly written and sharply observed comedy-drama. At its frequent best, pic has a fresh and larky charm that's reminiscent of fondly remembered French New Wave romances."[2]
