A Hologram for the King is a German-American film by Tom Tykwer (Alts of the Clouds, Perfume), based on the novel of the same name by Dave Eggers from 2012. The title role has been entrusted to Tom Hanks, who was last seen in the film Bridge of Spies. Hanks is one of only two actors to win two Oscars in a row, the first for his role in the drama Philadelphia, the second a year later for his role in the comedy drama Forrest Gump. This time, too, he starred in a touching comedy-drama, except that his character is still not so confused.

The famous British ski jumper Michael Edwards, better known under the nickname Eddie The Eagle or Eddie the Eagle is a living legend. A slightly older generation probably still remembers his famous performance at the Olympic Games in Calgary, Canada in 1988, because of which the International Olympic Committee changed the rules to no longer have to place exotics in the Olympics (well, Venessa Mae did it anyway). Although he never really lived up to his name (his jumps were short and unreliable), he won the hearts of fans around the world with his genuine Olympic spirit and determination. The path of probably the most unusual ski jumper of all time was translated into a film by Dexter Fletcher with Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton in the central role. And another interesting thing. The film was also shot by Slovenian jumpers, who performed jumps and stunts.
