unexpectedly good

(ENGLISH): 'Der springteufel' is a short film from 1974 by Heinz Schirk with Dieter Hallervorden.

Hallervorden doesn't play a funny role here, but rather he plays a psychopath. He's looking for someone or a hitchhiker to see if someone will take him to Frankfurt. A doctor takes him. Dieter asks him a lot of funny questions and deliberately twists a lot. Sometime later, Dieter threatens the doctor and plays his psychological games with him.

The short film is quite cheap, but it doesn't worsen the film in any way, only on some camera helicopter trips the cinematography looks very confused and the camera is very crooked and shaky. Otherwise there is nothing more to say about cinematography. Dieter Hallervorden plays the psychopath very well and people buy it from him. Most of all, the dialogues are very well thought out and you listen eagerly. Mur such liked the ending very much. A very simple TV movie that is quite intense (not brutal) and does everything right.
