A JOURNEY INTO BLISS

Die Reise ins Glück

Directed by Wenzel Storch
Germany, 2004
Fantasy, Comedy, Avant-Garde

Synopsis

The film deals loosely with the adventures of the grizzled Gustav who captains a ship – a giant floating ‘snailboat’ – with a crew of talking animals and lumbering sailors in blackface. It unspools like a perverse children’s story book, all at once cuddly cute, grotesquely obscene and beyond absurd.
