Ich bin gleich wieder da

About This Movie

So, 'Ich bin gleich wieder da' is this intriguing little drama from 1939 that dives into a single night in the life of an undergraduate named Nik. He's just looking to grab some cigarettes, but what unfolds is a tapestry of encounters with three distinct women, each bringing a unique flavor to his night. The pacing is quite tight, and the atmosphere has that palpable tension of late-night escapades. While the director is unknown, the performances carry a raw, almost unfiltered energy that feels very much of its time. The way the film navigates themes of chance and connection is interesting, making it stand out amid the more polished productions of its era.

This film is quite scarce, with limited releases over the years, making it a curiosity for collectors. Its overall obscurity adds to its charm, as few have seen it, and it often gets overshadowed by bigger titles from the same period. The original prints are rare, and there have been a few restorations, but none that really capture its raw essence. It’s one of those films that sparks conversation among collectors about lost cinema and the gems that slip through the cracks of film history.
