Import/Export - film review
Disturbing depiction of exploitation, humiliation and degradation in modern day Europe, either side of the border between East and West. Poverty of opportunity defines the lives of both Olga in the Ukraine and Pauli in Austria. The lure of a better life draws each into the other's homeland, but life remains harsh for both individuals as they scrape a living towards the end of the food chain. The film makes plain the squalid consequences of Western wealth and the disastrous economic `reforms` in Eastern Europe.
Essential viewing.
