Import Export (UK-import)
Import Export chronicles two different migrations: a young woman who leaves behind her mother and young child in the Ukraine to begin a new life as a nurse in Vienna; and a headstrong young security guard called Paul who leaves Vienna to accompany his stepfather on a trip delivering gumball machines in Eastern Europe. Blackly funny, filled with striking images shot by cameraman Ed Lachman ( Erin Brockovich, Far From Heaven) and featuring extraordinarily potent performances from its cast, Import/Export is the new film from director Ulrich Seidl ( Dog Days). Hailed by critics as a startling and bold film, it is without doubt recent European cinema's most provocative and audacious investigation of the post-Soviet universe and the new relations between East and West.
