So, 'Is was, Kanzler?' is this quirky little gem from '84 that dives into the bizarre intersection of politics and absurdity. It’s set against the backdrop of a corrupt German political landscape where the CIA's meddling leads to some wild antics. The pacing has this odd rhythm; it lulls you into a false sense of security before hitting you with these unexpected twists. The practical effects are surprisingly clever for its time, giving it a unique feel. You know, the performances are a mix of slapstick and deadpan that somehow work. It feels like a satirical jab at the structures of power, wrapped in a comedy coat that’s both entertaining and thought-provoking. It's definitely a film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
