Der Räuber Hotzenplotz

I grew up watching this movie, so excuse me for being overly enthusiastic, but... It rules! Froebe is the perfect actor for Hotzenplotz, the location is wonderfully medieval and the acting is so over the top, you have to laugh at almost every scene...sure, the FX are trash at best, the sounds could be from some Genesis or Kraut rock album, there are lots of revealing mistakes (Sparkasse building, power lines) and errors, the mask is horrible, there's a toad that looks like a turd...but the overall atmosphere is awesome. The 2006 version? I don't even want to see it! Is there a dubbed version? If so, grab some German beer, sit back and enjoy!!!

A world-famous book needs a world-famous actor: so Preusler's children book is presented by Gert Fröbe as the (rather peaceful) robber. But who is the greater actor ? Josef Meinrad (wizard) is bearing a ring, only the best german-speaking actor of a generation will get (At that time: Meinrad). A movie not only for children.
