Millowitsch Theater - Pension Schöller

About This Movie

So, 'Pension Schöller' is quite the gem from 1993, directed by Karl Wesseler. It has this offbeat charm, you know? The story revolves around Anton Klapproth, a guy with a duck farm in the Eifel who decides he wants to shake up his routine with a trip to Cologne. What sets it apart is how it plays with the idea of sanity and adventure, especially in that sanatorium setting filled with quirky characters - the 'Jecken' add a lively twist. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged while the humor balances the absurdity of the situations. Sure, it's a comedy, but it captures a certain whimsical madness that feels quite unique. Performances are lively, and there's a rawness to the practical effects that adds character.
