Those who don’t know Ulrich Seidl are in for a shock. His pitch-black view of the world is not exactly uplifting, but he is very consistent. He cuts right into the bone and takes a good look at unhealthy human relationships. Two stories and two countries reflect each other in Import/Export. Olga is a single mother and a nurse in Ukraine, and after a stint trying to make money by stripping in front of a web cam, she is left with no choice but to go and earn money in Austria. Here, the young and aggressive Pauli has no aim in life. He can’t keep his jobs and can’t repay his debts. So he ends up helping his stepfather transport game machines to run-down pubs in Eastern Europe, and together they end up in Ukraine. The film is as sombre as hell, but Seidl doesn’t lack a certain sense of humour, which some might say is sick, while others think it’s brilliant. Import/Export was in competition in Cannes this year.
Ulrich Seidl
Born 1953 in Austria. The uncompromising filmmaker started out as a documentary director in the 1980s. His feature debut Dog Days (2001) won the Grand Jury Prize in Venice. He has since made more documentaries, among others Jesus, You Know (2003), which has won numerous international awards. Many of his films move in a no man’s land between fiction and reality, and the tough portraits of mankind are razor-sharp.
