AIMLESS AND WEARISOME

What? Auf vollen Touren? The truck Didi is driving may be, but the film surely is not. The comedy never gets of the ground and successful jokes are few and far between. It perhaps could have been a mild satire on (political) corruption concerning chemical waste disposal, but now it an aimless and wearisome farce.

The charming goofiness just becomes stupid.

Didi, where are we going here, apart from France? The journey is largely entertaining at first, but somewhat disorientating. Comedy? Action film? Road movie? Political thriller? There's a bit of everything, but nothing really. Except an object lesson about the FRG in its high culture, with all its Americanised export products to Europe, the world and soon also the naive East. Corruption, capitalism, division of society, absolutely ruthless greed for profit, lies, lies, lies. But the claim of political education is far removed from this entertainment film, one that at some point completely abandons its self-appointed task. From the middle section onwards, the petrol runs out. When I said 'nothing really' earlier, there is too little of everything here at times. At some point, the charming goofiness just becomes stupid.

Anecdotes
During filming the actors spoke their native language, meaning the audio was recorded in French and German. This original recording is presumed lost. As the film was never sold to a French-speaking country and therefore never dubbed, nobody really wanted those recordings and they were probably thrown out with all other unneeded materials (like outtakes, deleted scenes etc.) when UFA cleared their vaults.

Gaffes
At the beginning of the film a barrel falls down and explodes. It is quite obvious that it's not the barrel exploding but the boxes beside the falling barrel.
