One of the best Austrian movies ever
21 February 2001 | by nasha00 – See all my reviews

This film is surely one of the best Austrian movies ever.

It is full of comedy, tragedy, philosophy and pure typical Austrian maliciousness. Unfortunately you will not understand most of the intelligent jokes if you are not Austrian, and that not only because of the language (the film had to be subtitled in most of Germany). It is nevertheless a wonderful and very enjoyable movie but mostly for people that know Austria and its people.
