Beer Chase
Beer chase was shot during and at the Oktoberfest in Munich. The filmmaker dressed up as a policeman and exposed the Festgoers to his mockery and absurdity. The style and humor of Achternbusch are far from mundane and have outspoken opponents as well as fans. Hubert Bals was a true fan and Achternbusch has often been a guest in Rotterdam. International Film Festival Rotterdam, Catalog, 1994 Bavarian's fiery heir to the spirit of Groucho and Chaplin. Judy Stone in: San Francisco Chronicle
