This won best foreign film? 1966 must not have been a very strong year for foreign cinema. The whole thing is about a naive young man and his quest for his first sexual conquest. That could be funny, but the fact is, it just isn't. It's a drab and hopeless time, and the passionless characters just stumble through it. Attempted suicide - now there's a laugh for you. Even Nazi occupation has been handled comedically, but not here. I did give it a couple of extra stars on my rating because of the cinematography. Other than that, it's not really worth your time.
