Import Export
Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA
(Ulrich Seidl, Austria, 2007, 35mm, 135 min)
A viscerally involving film, Import Export is a stark but profound depiction of modern day struggle. Director Ulrich Seidl masterfully extracts heart-rending performances from two untrained actors in this achingly realistic film that at times feels more like a documentary than a drama. Olga barely scrapes by as a nurse in the Ukraine, and after a dismal stint in the online porn business she leaves to find a better life in Austria. Her Austrian counterpart, Paul, is similarly fed up with drowning in debt and unemployment, so he departs for the Ukraine. Ultimately, a stirring, humanistic message emerges in their search for identity and a contented existence.
