The less actors talk in Austrian films the more convincing they are. Austrian film actors usually have trouble with lines in screenplays.

In this charming Helmut Berger film, it's the images that count. The story is dark, laconic and funny and uses only as many words as necessary to understand it. If longer than 90 minutes, it would probably begin to start boring but as it is rather short, the long silent periods do not bother.

Not a masterpiece but one of those macabre stories we need from time to time. And it presents us with a rather scary view of Vienna.

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.

The comedy genre refers to a category of entertainment that aims to amuse and entertain audiences by using humor, wit, and comedic situations.
