Die Prüfung is a curious short film that seems to linger in an intriguing, almost austere atmosphere. Eichhorn’s approach is minimalist, with a focus that feels deliberate, creating a sense of introspection. The pacing is measured, allowing the viewer to fully absorb the nuances of the performances, which, while not widely recognized, have a certain raw authenticity to them. The film navigates themes of moral dilemmas and personal reflection, all conveyed through practical effects that maintain a grounded realism. It’s not flashy, but rather strikes a chord with a sense of somber contemplation, making it stand out in its subdued way.
Die Prüfung is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with limited availability and few releases to track down. Its short runtime and niche appeal mean it often falls under the radar, yet those who appreciate short cinema may find value in its thematic depth. Original formats are scarce, and interest tends to be from those who delve into lesser-known works or the oeuvre of Klaus-Gregor Eichhorn.
