Comedy about bureaucracy and the internal battles of hierarchy

A simple plot  set among the Austrian bureaucrats with a background of summer romance during a lakeside holiday. Moser  is perfectly cast in the role of the senior official with a heart of gold - he even serenades the fraulein of his fancy ! A comedy of errors, of old-fashioned ways being overtaken by progress but lightened by romance and humour. Well worth a look even if only to see the fantastic bikinis !

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.
