I bought this movie before I watched it on impulse. It's about what I believe is an insane asylum completely populated by dwarfs who, lock up the guards and run amok. They light things on fire, they cannot properly operate large machinery, they cock fight, and demand freedom, and then run around some more. Rebellion has never looked so ridiculous as it does here. Amongst the small group of those who like Werner Herzog films there is an even smaller group who like this film. It's a very long, very tasteless joke, with a great punchline, but it's almost worth it just to watch the finally freed warden and voice of reason for the majority in the film, suddenly begin to argue with a tree, and win!
