Austria's oscar nominee. Starts out with some chicanery in a Viennese brothel but shifts into a compelling psychodrama set in a small village. Personal drama and the stark contrast between the sleazy city and the peaceful, more healthy countryside make up the dominant themes.
Excellent acting by all hands. Strong mise-en-scene, several nice director's touches - all subtle - gave the film the breadth and depth that would satisfy any student of film.
A solid work of world cinema.
