So, 'Tyven, tyven ...' from 1970 is an interesting piece to track down, especially since the director remains a mystery. It adapts a play by Dario Fo, which gives it this biting satirical edge that you don't see often in films of that era. The pacing feels deliberate, almost like they’re letting the audience soak in the absurdity. The performances lean heavily into exaggeration, capturing that unique blend of humor and critique. The atmosphere is a bit heavy with existential dread wrapped in dark comedy, which is pretty distinctive compared to mainstream films. Worth noting is how the practical effects are minimal but effective; they create a rawness that enhances the storytelling rather than distracts from it.
'Tyven, tyven ...' has had a rather niche presence in collector circles due to its obscure origins and the ambiguity surrounding its director. It's not easy to find, especially in decent condition, which adds to its allure for those who appreciate the offbeat adaptations of stage works. While it's not widely circulated, enthusiasts often share anecdotes about their search for it, underscoring its status as a curiosity rather than a mainstream staple.
