Die Götter müssen verrückt sein

My platonic cinematic love. An extremely original and downright hyper-fun ode to a beautiful and untouched part of the world and its specific order, which is cleverly contrasted with an advanced society ruled by chaos and crime. The story has an amazing pace, the interweaving of all the plot lines is a joy to watch, and all the formal components, from the awesome genre soundtrack to the irresistible and very apt "quick-motion" treatment of some scenes, contribute greatly to the surprising but overwhelming quality of this magical, balanced and brilliant adventure that gives me genuine fits of laughter every year. And I’m incredibly grateful for that. 100% (17.08.2015)

An der Grundschule war das einer der großen Hits, die immer erfolgreich an mir vorbeigingen. Zwanzig Jahre später schaute ich also, was meine Mitschüler so schrecklich bewundert hatten. Ich bin überzeugt davon, dass einem mit zehn Jahren diese verrückte afrikanische Komödie sicher gefallen hat, heute aber gibt es dafür schwache drei Sterne. Ich weiß nicht, ob ich mir noch Teil zwei anschaue, vielleicht in weiteren zwanzig Jahren. (19.08.2014)

Three Sexy Girls in Tirol without three naked Swedish women and without Tyrol. But with a naked bushman and a lecture about how the bushmen rock and we're the demons. Without nostalgia or knowledge of, say, the legendary dubbing, it's worth a gunshot to the head, which I’m not giving a lower rating for the same condescending reasons with which this film looks at indigenous tribes.
