Oben geblieben ist noch keiner

About This Movie

Ah, 'Oben geblieben ist noch keiner'—an interesting dive into the comedic side of military training. Willi Zubrodt, with his lackluster discipline and disregard for authority, becomes the focal point of a series of attempts by instructors to expel him from a parachuting course. The atmosphere is charged with a mix of slapstick and subtle satire, poking at the absurdities of rigid systems. The pacing is a bit uneven, reflecting the chaotic nature of the protagonist's journey. You get practical effects that are quite charming for the time—think of the classic parachute sequences. It’s a distinctive take on individualism versus conformity, wrapped in a comedic shell, making it a curious watch for those into offbeat European cinema.

Not widely discussed, but fascinating for comedy enthusiasts.Interesting reflection on military culture and individualism.A lesser-known gem in the realm of European comedies.
