So, 'King Kongs Faust' is this quirky little comedy from '85, set against the backdrop of the Berlin Film Festival in '84. You can almost feel the tension of trying to navigate this glamorous but exclusive film world. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that kind of reflects the chaos of the festival itself. There's a certain charm in how it portrays the lengths people go to just to catch a screening, especially through the eyes of our protagonist, Journalist Matthies. His misadventures really capture that feeling of being an outsider. And while the director remains unknown, the practical effects and performances have a rawness that adds to its unique appeal. It’s not your typical festival fare, for sure.
