About This Movie

Auch ich war nur ein mittelmäßiger Schüler is this quaint little comedy that dives into the nostalgia of school days and the bittersweetness of growing up. Pitt and Felix, both aiming for fatherhood, find themselves reminiscing in a hospital, and the film captures that mix of laughter and embarrassment beautifully. The pacing has this laid-back charm, allowing their conversations to flow naturally, almost like a relaxed chat between old friends. The performances feel genuine, with a certain warmth that makes you reflect on your own school days. It’s all about those small, relatable moments that stick with you, you know?

This film has remained somewhat obscure, almost like a hidden gem among collectors. Original prints are getting harder to find, and it seems to attract those who appreciate offbeat comedies and personal narratives. The charm lies in its simplicity, and it offers a unique glimpse into the 70s German film landscape, making it a distinct piece for any serious collector.
