The course of true love once again runs rough in Bernhard Wenger’s painfully hilarious chronicle of a bumbling twenty-something and his wildly elaborate but decidedly ill-advised attempt to “pop the question” in a spectacular Alpine setting. In a film whose synopsis is its own YouTube-ish title, Wenger’s one-take marvel ruthlessly satirizes millennials’ drive to document every facet of their existence with a view to social-media exploitation.
