This turns out to be exactly how you would imagine an endearing, funny (Weimar) comedy with a love-struck Felix Bressart in the leading role! To me a little gem I'd love to watch over and over again 💗

So it seems that David Cronenberg is the better Quentin Tarantino.
A wonderful homage to the French animated classic The King and the Mockingbird / Le Roi et l'Oiseau (1980), or more precisely to Grimault’s earlier, unfinished version of it: La bergère et le ramoneur (1952), which is known to be one of Miyazaki’s favourite films – or at least had a major influence on him – and which is said to have once inspired him to make films himself, something that becomes absolutely evident here (to me). Besides, master thief Arsène Lupin III is truly something quite special compared to all of Miyazaki’s other main characters 😄
4th viewing – my quintessential quote for now:
"Ich will nicht ruhen, bis ich die furchtbaren Dinge, die ringsum geschehen, begreife–."
// "I won't rest until I get to the bottom of these dreadful deeds"
