With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at fans of sharp satire and fans of a well-timed joke. The jokes have targets, and it hits most of them. Shelve it next to Sleeper or The Kentucky Fried Movie.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 38 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A young man named Jürgen joins the military. As much as he tries to make a heroic career as a soldier in a rearmed West Germany, he fails utterly and ends up in a bizarre sanatorium.
