Then I'll Just Get Out...

About This Movie

Then I'll Just Get Out... is a lesser-known gem from 1977 that dives deep into the tensions of competitive sports. Klas Miggelsen, our rowing protagonist, grapples with frustration as he’s paired with amateur Heiner. It’s a drama that captures the grit and grind of trying to find your place in a world where you feel overshadowed. The pacing is measured, allowing the character interactions to breathe, unveiling the underlying themes of ambition and camaraderie. The performances are raw, lending an authentic feel to the struggles of both characters. What stands out is the film's ability to showcase the psychological aspects of sports, rather than just the physical – a real treat for those who enjoy character-driven narratives in sports settings.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making original formats quite scarce. Its niche appeal to collectors often lies in its distinctive storytelling and character focus, setting it apart from typical sports dramas. The obscurity of the director adds an air of mystery, and as such, it garners interest for those seeking out rare finds in their collection, especially in the realm of foreign cinema.
