Sigi Zimmerscheid is a satirical comedian from the traditional, catholic city of Passau, Bavaria. His movie is one of the weirdest pieces of celluloid I've encountered this year. The movie's structure vaguely resembles "Monthy Python's meaning of life", but it is a bit more stringent and was produced with a much lower budget. It is a funny movie, however, the humor is kind of drastic, cynical, blasphemic, disgusting, taboo- breaking; and it is not intended to make you roll on the floor laughing. However, there are some pearls hidden in the dirt. Some camera shots demonstrate an incredibly sensitive view for composition, color and timing. For instance, ordinary street pavement and standardized suburban houses look magical and slightly scary, respectively. Zimmerscheid has also composed the music which is unbelievable because it is so diverse, covering groovy drum solo, string quartet, piano... . This originary mix of primitivity and sensitiviy make this a truly post-modern piece of art.
