Nicht von gestern

About This Movie

So, 'Nicht von gestern' is this quirky comedy from '77 that really has that offbeat European vibe. The pacing is pretty relaxed, allowing for some interesting character moments, even if the plot meanders a bit. The humor feels casual, sometimes a bit absurd, which gives it a unique charm. The performances are solid, with actors who seem comfortable in their roles, creating an atmosphere that's both lighthearted and a tad surreal. There’s a certain handmade quality to the film, and while it doesn't rely heavily on flashy effects, the practical touches bring a certain warmth to the viewing experience. Overall, it's a nice slice of vintage cinema that's worth discussing among collectors.

'Nicht von gestern' isn’t widely circulated, making it something of a hidden gem for collectors. It originally came out on VHS in limited quantities, and I’ve seen a handful of DVD releases since, but they’re not exactly easy to find. There’s definitely an interest in films like this, especially among those who appreciate the eclectic nature of 70s comedies. So, if you manage to find a copy, it’s worth holding onto.
