Import Export Series: Film Comment Selects 2008 [Feb 14 - Feb 28] Director: Ulrich Seidl, Country: Austria, Release: 2007, Runtime: 135 Ever controversial bad boy Ulrich Seidl is Austria's prime example of Abjection Cinema, the art-film genre of the moment. Here he tracks the fortunes of a Ukrainian nurse who comes to Austria looking for work, and an unemployed Austrian youth who travels to the Ukraine with his brutish stepfather to deliver coin-operated gumball machines to a succession of grim working-class neighborhoods. Seidl observes the struggles of his two protagonists and the bleak postindustrial landscapes and stark interiors they traverse with a clinical and unflinching eye. But though he's a connoisseur of the harsh facts of life and the reduction of human relationships to cold-blooded transactions, Seidl nevertheless finds a glimmer of humanity and hope in this world, and that's why Import Export is not just another trawl through the lower depths. That said, if moronic proles barking orders at dazed and bewildered prostitutes, the rasping breathing of dying babies, and the senile outbursts of nursing-home residents are music to your ears, this one's for you.
