Potz Millione

About This Movie

Potz Millione is this quirky little comedy from 1981 that really captures a slice of life with a satirical twist. You’ve got Martin Hugentobler, who’s sort of this average guy, but then he and his friends, the Jass players, stumble into a lottery win after years of playing the same numbers. It’s not just about the money, though; it’s the way their lives spiral into chaos and the bizarre situations they find themselves in. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it fits the offbeat tone. The performances have this genuine, almost slapstick quality that makes the absurdity feel real. Practical effects are minimal, but they enhance the humor without overshadowing the character-driven narrative. It’s a film that revels in its own ridiculousness while also making you think about luck and friendship.
