Classic German movies: Loriot's Pappa Ante Portas

You can learn a lot about a culture by watching its movies, which is why I've decided to start watching some classic German movies. I'll discuss why the movie I have chosen is important to German culture, whether it's a good movie for learning German from, and whether or not it's worth your time.

The first movie I am covering is Loriot's Pappa Ante Portas. Loriot was a cartoonist, a sketch comedian, and a movie maker, and he was a giant in German comedy. 

Show notes:

• Dominik's history podcast (Deutsch): Ach? 
• The 40 Percent German blog post: The German Society of Auto-Correction
• Wikipedia entry for Loriot: Loriot
