Oben - Unten is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that really dives into the life of a classic underdog. You know the type – a perennial loser, constantly tripping over his own feet. The pacing has this ebb and flow that mirrors his ups and downs, which keeps it engaging. It’s not just about the laughs, though. There’s a genuine exploration of hope and despair, especially as he finally lands a beautiful partner, which feels both sweet and bittersweet. The performances are solid; you can see the struggle and the small wins, which makes it relatable. And while it’s not flashy, the practical effects and simple setups add a charming touch. It’s these little details that set it apart for me.
Great character study of an underdog · Interesting visual style with practical effects · Captures the essence of life's ups and downs
