Käpt’n Blaubär der Film is in German
but it’s a bit culture specific. German children TV has a pretty long running show that does “how it’s made” for children + small, probably only 5 minute animated stuff and at the end a puppet/animated show of this old bear telling his grandchildren weird made up stories that he claims are totally true.
Obviously this is feature length. So in this movie, his old archrival shows up, and kidnaps the kids. Grandpa has to roll up his sleeves, and go save them. And of course do wild stuff that sounds totally made up when he tries to tell the kids later.
It’s wacky entertainment in the best way.
Why did nobody tell me there is a movie?! Thanks!
La cité de la peur
Pan’s Labyrinth
The Skin I Live In

My Neighbour Totoro
Infernal Affairs
“Gentlemen of Fortune” is a hilarious movie where a school principle is chosen to infiltrate a band of crooks due to him looking exactly like their boss.
There are lot of them, even in communist regime there were made good films. I would probably suggest something from the pen of Zdeněk Svěrák.
Kolja- this one got Oscar
Nejistá sezóna - tragicomedy about theater players.
Loads of comedies like Trhák, Jáchyme hoď ho do stroje, Kulový blesk…
These are classics https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0006664/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1
Der Vorname
There are synchronized versions of it. A clever intellectual comedy, set at a dinnertable with several young parents/couples
It’s not the best but it’s something;

“The young and fanatical Jon is appointed pastor to a remote church in 17th century Iceland. As is custom, he marries the widow of his predecessor, a woman much older than he is. He is ardent in his fight against Satan, and the villagers don’t dare to question his authority. When he falls for a beautiful young woman, Jon is convinced witchcraft is at work, and his crusade leads to cruel executions of innocent people. The stronger his lust, the deeper his madness drives him in his religious fervor.”
Thank you. Between the trailer and your synopsis I think I will enjoy this :)
Toxikoma is fucking amazing. The imdb rating is only 7/10 but i assure you ita better than that.
