So, Die Schlankheitskur is an interesting little gem. It's a comedy from 1971, and while the director's name is lost to time, the film carries this quirky charm. The pacing is laid-back, typical of early '70s European comedies, which gives it a certain relaxed vibe. It plays with themes of weight loss and societal expectations, but in this lighthearted way that feels both familiar and refreshingly odd. The performances are decent but have this subtle absurdity that keeps you engaged. Plus, the practical effects, though not groundbreaking, have that rawness that often adds to the humor. It’s definitely a unique piece from the era worth exploring.
Die Schlankheitskur has been a bit under the radar in terms of collector interest. Formats are limited, with few releases, so finding a decent copy can be a hunt. As more obscure comedies from this era gain attention, this film could see a rise in visibility among niche collectors. It’s not common on streaming, making physical copies even more desirable for those who appreciate the idiosyncrasies of '70s European cinema.
