So, 'Ooh... diese Ferien' is a unique little slice of 1958 German comedy that captures that whimsical family vacation vibe. It’s all about the Petermann family as they embark on their sunny getaway, with Max just getting his driving license and a rather speedy sled that promises some comedic chaos. The performances have this charming earnestness, particularly from the kids, and there's this light-hearted tone that keeps things flowing nicely. The film plays with themes of family bonding and the sometimes absurd expectations of a holiday, and it really embodies that classic European charm—sometimes rough around the edges, but that's part of its allure.
'Ooh... diese Ferien' is somewhat of a rarity today, with limited format releases and a specific appeal to collectors of vintage foreign comedies. The scarcity of available copies makes it a curiosity, especially for those who appreciate post-war German cinema. While not hugely known outside of its home country, its charm and comedic style can draw interest from collectors looking to expand their international comedy sections.
