Import/Export...



Ulrich Seidl's Import/Export is a bleak societal commentary on the inevitable exploitation brought on by capitalism. It's documentary style narrative tracks the opposing routes of Olga a Ukrainian single mum and Pauli an Austrian head-strong security guard. It drags you through the depressing truths of life at the bottom of the food chain and the decency that persists even in the most soul destroying situations. It is both shockingly beautiful and darkly funny. You simply gotta watch this film!.... at a comfortable distance!
