Import Export

The latest movie of Ulrich Seidl seems to be as strange as Hundstage a film I saw in 2002 on the IFFR. Seidl makes controversial films in which he gives his vision of Austria and Europe.
In this movie we see Olga who moves from a depressing place in Ukraine to Vienna in the hope to find a better future. She works in a depressing nursing home.
On the other hand we see looser Paul who does some strange business together with his stepfather in Ukraine.
The film is about humanity, dignity and moral values. But the style of the movie might not be very appealing to all viewers.
Rating: 7 out of 10
