About This Movie

So, there's this 1972 fantasy flick, 'Da mußte die böse Frau die ganzen Mohrrüben selber fressen.' It's a wild ride that dives into the imagination of a six-year-old girl wandering through a supermarket. The atmosphere shifts fast as mundane objects and people morph into characters from a fairy tale, creating a distinct blend of reality and fantasy. The practical effects, although limited, have a certain charm that adds to the film's unique vibe. Themes of innocence and the transformation of the ordinary into something magical give it a particular resonance, but the pacing might feel a bit off for some. Still, it’s an interesting piece of cinema history worth exploring.

This film has a pretty limited release history, with very few prints circulating among collectors. It's not exactly easy to find, and that scarcity adds an interesting layer to its allure. Many collectors appreciate its offbeat nature and the peculiar charm of its practical effects, making it a conversation starter in any collection centered on European fantasy cinema.
