Jetzt bist Du dran, Feilchen

About This Movie

Jetzt bist Du dran, Feilchen is one of those quirky short comedies that sneaks up on you with its off-kilter humor and oddball charm. The pacing is brisk, with a series of comedic vignettes that feel like they could have come from a sketch show, but there's something uniquely German about it – maybe it’s the deadpan delivery or the absurdity woven into everyday situations. The performances are solid, capturing that blend of earnestness and absurdity that really makes the piece tick. What stands out is how it captures a slice of 1970s culture with its practical effects, which, while modest, add a tactile feel to the humor. Definitely an interesting piece for anyone who appreciates the more niche comedic shorts from that era.

This short has had a bit of a mixed journey in terms of availability. Originally released on VHS, it seems to have eluded many collectors since then, with some claiming that it never saw a proper DVD release. It's definitely on the rarer side for those interested in German cinema of that era, and though it may not have the widespread recognition of other films, it has garnered a certain niche following. Collectors who appreciate the odd and obscure will find this one intriguing.
