Der selige Herr aus dem Parlament

About This Movie

So, 'Der selige Herr aus dem Parlament' is a unique piece from 1980 that really captures the quirks of political life with a comedic lens. The humor can be quite dry, which gives it a really distinctive feel—almost a satire on bureaucracy. The pacing is deliberately uneven, which adds to its charm, making you feel like you're in a long, drawn-out meeting where nothing's quite getting done. The performances have this almost theatrical quality, like they’re playing up the absurdity of their roles. And let’s not forget the practical effects used for some gags; they feel very much of their time but also surprisingly inventive. It’s the kind of film that invites a second viewing just to catch those little details you might miss the first time around.
