Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Fischfang in der Rhön (an der Sinn) Synopsis
The film is characterised by atypical landscape shots, with views of nature being distorted without technical effects. Close-ups, details and overhead shots without a horizon create an impression of flatness. Flora and fauna are transformed into graphic elements through symmetrical reflections. 'Fischfang in der Rhön' is reminiscent of Ella Bergmann-Michel's experimental landscape photographs on the one hand and her collages on the other, in which she layered coloured transparent papers on top of each other.
His Royal Slyness Synopsis
An American book salesman (Lloyd) is persuaded to go to the kingdom of Thermosa to impersonate the Prince. He is greeted by a peasants' revolt before the real prince shows up to claim his throne and princess. The revolution succeeds, and the American is elected president of the new republic.
"Fischfang in der Rhön (an der Sinn)" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "His Royal Slyness" offers its own unique cult appeal.
