About This Movie

Er weiß was er will, a 1935 German comedy, has this charmingly awkward vibe. The film's pace is a bit all over the place, but it adds to its quirky feel. You get a sense of lightheartedness mixed with some clever social commentary. The performances, while not groundbreaking, have a certain warmth that makes the characters relatable. There's a playfulness in the practical effects, and the overall atmosphere is reminiscent of the pre-war era with a mix of innocence and underlying tension. It’s fascinating to see how the film navigates romantic entanglements with a light touch, almost like a dance, which gives it a unique flair among its contemporaries.

This film isn’t the easiest to track down. Its prints have become quite rare, and many collectors are drawn to it for its unique blend of comedy and social insight. Various formats have surfaced over the years, but original releases seem to be the most sought after. Given its age and the nature of pre-war cinema, there’s a genuine curiosity surrounding it that keeps it on the radar for those interested in historical comedies.
