Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

A Brilliant Conflict

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Helges best movie by far. Very funny, very surrealistic. If Bunuel made a movie starring Buster Keaton as Krusty the Clown it would look like this.Brilliant performances by the cast we already know from other Schneider movies, especially Helmut Körschgen as the sidekick of 00Schneider. (Andreas Kunze who once more plays the wife in this one is a bit annoying though). And of course Helge himself as Nihil Baxter is absolutely incredible.P.S: if this movie had a proper merchandising i would really like to buy a replica of that "Holz ist" painting.

The German-comedy-"star" Helge Schneider in his third entrance in cinemas! When I first saw this movie when I was in the 7th grade, probably 13/14 years old, I thougt it to be awful. I recognized the meaning, or let's say non-meaning of this movie first when I saw it a second time many years later: if you get involved in the strange kind of Helge's humor, it's extremely funny, but I understand people who are not able to laugh about it.The whole movie, for example the strange characters (Helmut Körschgen: a perfect actor or always drunken?)and locations, gives me the impression of being a crazy, surrealistic dream, arised from the mind of the genius Helge Schneider.If you like a different kind of humor,strange and weird (and drunken) characters, look for "00 Schneider" and the other Helge-movies, especially his debut, the amazing "Johnny Flash"!Try to watch all four one after another: an unforgettable experience!!!

i consider this movie as one of the most interesting and funny movies of all time. It has so much highly intelligent thoughts in it, that anybody who thinks the movie is awful did not get it and is not able to recognize really deep philosophical themes, which are in it (in all the 3 Schneider movies) without a doubt. Several universities in germany and throughout europe have made studies on Schneider's way of seeing things. By the way, Helge Schneider is a very intelligent and sensitive person and on of the Jazz-musicions in germany (maybe europe). He is mostly inspired by the great M.Davis and T.Monk. So if you do not like him, it is ok, but please do not try to convince others that he might be stupid, cheap, boring or not funny. Because if you had to face this opinion in a discussion and if you are willing to really look into the art of H.Schneider you would have to "surrender".

Movie about a man (Baxter) who kills a clown (Methulskie). Some police officers (00 + Koerschgen) try to solve the case. Mr. Schneider acts as both Baxter and 00.I went to see this movie at a local theater here in Germany. There were about 20 people there to watch it and after half an hour 10 of them left.Later on in the Film - during interrogation by 00 and his decrepit, alcoholic assistant - Dr. Baxter remarks upon a form of sexual intercourse that would be impossible to engage in due to the number of people present. In my opinion this is one of the high-points of the movie but it caused another 5 people to leave.The 5 remaining people enjoyed the movie a lot because... The movie is very funny - it has the kind of humor that makes you laugh instinctively and it´s also one of the strangest / trashiest films I have ever seen.
