Import/Export

Austria w/d Ulrich Seidl

Another extremely unpleasant film from this guy (Dog Days). Here we follow two immigrants...a woman who moves from Ukraine to Austria and a man who reverses this path. Both have degrading work experiences at home, move to a land they hope holds promise and discover even more humiliation, mistreatment and degradation.

Slow story development, long, static shots, many scenes that make the viewer cringe in sympathy for the actors. What exactly is the message here? Life sucks and then you die?

This bozo needs to wash out his mind with soap.
