Horst Schlämmer - Isch kandidiere!

2009 · 96 min Comedy
4.8 / 10 · TMDB

So far he has earned his living as deputy editor-in-chief at the Grevenbroicher Tagblatt, but actually Horst Schlämmer had always guessed: he was destined for something bigger - too much bigger. Without further ado, he therefore quits his old job, founds his very own party and thus starts his rush to the chancellor's office. While the election machinery is quickly started and soon picks up speed, only two questions remain unanswered: Is Horst Schlämmer ready for Germany? And is Germany ready for him?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a classic situational comedy against the backdrop of the German political arena, relying on the recognizable archetype of a provincial dreamer. Through exaggeration and grotesque, it explores the absurdity of election races and the universal craving for simple solutions.

What lingers after the viewing is a satirical aftertaste about the mechanisms of public authority and ambition clashing with mundane reality. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Angelo Colagrossi
