This little piece of some 5 minutes, which comes as bonus material in the 3-DVD Valentin Spielfilme box, may be taken as an ancient documentary about the quite popular German humorist, Karl Valentin. And its venerable age alone makes it interesting to watch. But besides...
What you get is a sequence of home movie shots, often just seconds long, and interspersed with inter-titles explaining the snippets. No story, or even noticeable exposition. The longest take is of Valentin's dog, but again, with no cinematographic interest.
On the other hand, the few minutes of runtime are no big time investment. And a weird little experience this film is, for certain.
