Der Snob is an interesting entry from 1984, capturing the obsessive ambition of a character who isn't content with just wealth—he craves nobility. The tone is darkly comedic, exploring the absurd lengths to which people will go for status. It's a bizarre yet captivating mix of satire and social commentary, with a pacing that keeps you engaged despite its unconventional narrative flow. The performances are quite striking, with a lead that oscillates between desperation and charm, making you almost sympathize with this oily careerist. Unique in its approach, the film doesn't shy away from practical effects that enhance its surreal atmosphere, adding a layer of intrigue that might catch a collector's eye.
Der Snob has had a bit of a cult following among collectors, partly due to its obscure status and the mystery surrounding its unknown director. Formats are limited, with some early VHS releases becoming hard to find, while DVD editions are scarce. The film garners interest not just for its thematic depth but also for its distinctive style, appealing to collectors who appreciate the offbeat and lesser-known gems from the 1980s.
