Released one year after the band's popular debut,
Der Film helped increase
Jennifer Rostock's popularity further, peaking at number 13 on the German charts and featuring another batch of hyper, fiery punk-pop songs.
Der Film was also released in two deluxe editions, the first of which featured an acoustic version of "Himalaya" (previously released on 2008's
Ins Offene Messer), and the second of which included a half-hour preview of a forthcoming band documentary.
