A cautionary tale about the myriad shades and shapes of totalitarianism in an irreverent, surreal 1960s mix of styles featuring acerbic Austrian cabaret icon Helmut Qualtinger speaking in tongues. An exemplary, at the time widely lauded work of West German animation.

An impressionist-anchored, pop art-driven, surrealist animation about war fears, industrial overdevelopment, and many other civilisational neuroses. A colourful counterpart to Clay & Nordhoff’s probably earlier Hands Up Mr. Rasnichi, which was seemingly little shown and is not even mentioned in any of their currently consultable filmographies. A true discovery.
