Parodontose Now

About This Movie

So, 'Parodontose Now' is this quirky 1983 comedy that really does something different with the whole dentist trope. You've got Dr. Wilhelm Andacht, who’s on this darkly comedic quest to eliminate an ex-colleague to save his career. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, but it kind of adds to the absurdity of the plot. The practical effects, especially the dental scenarios, are both amusing and unsettling, which creates this unique tension. The performances are over-the-top in a way that makes you question if they knew they were in a comedy. Overall, it’s a film that digs into the darker side of ambition, wrapped in a bizarrely humorous package. It’s definitely not your standard laugh fest, but that’s what makes it interesting.
