Watched this twice now and it is by far the most depressing film I have ever seen. The humiliation of the prostitute is shocking - shocking is good, but it does go too far and spolis the balance with Ekateryna Rak's character. I still can't believe the actor actually received oral sex - was there really any need for it? That said, I still find it a rewarding watch... the scenes in the hospital moved me most, I wonder whether the people on the ward were actual patients? It all seemed too real.
The thing is the film wants to be this radical representation of the evils of society. It just tries too hard. It's almost exploitation of post modern angst.
because she really need the money to feed herself OR ego centric, high profile actor , who prepared to put on the plate everything. Even show his soft, impotance penis to the whole world. iT'S DISGUSTING.
The scene with 19 years old prostitute disturbs me. I don't care about her ( even though I'm russian myself) . But I just don't get how married actor -Michael Thomas ( I've read on wikipedia that he's married) had the guts to stick his penis to girl's mouth on the camera!!! How did his wife reacted to this? Do not tell me it's all for the sake of Art. Ha-ha-ha!! The guy clearly took a ride and now tell me who loves the money more??? Little, street prostitute who probably did this because she
Post-modern bullshit made by people who want to feel like they are "denouncing" something. "I feel alienated, look at the weight of the modern world! I fee opressed".
Go fuck yourself you stupid 25 year old spoilt directors, nobody cares about your shitty denounce of human relations and how booh hoo life makes no sense. Go fuck yourself up your stupid, self righteous ass.
You realize that all of this are things happening right now, don't you? I mean, people think this things are just movies, but they're actually not, they're reality. Sad sad world we're living in...
@untipdincta ofc all this happens, people are different, they have different values and grow up differently, but theres no need to be afraid of the reality, you just have to accept it, no need to fear the unknown
its funny the women over in eastern europe are so good lookin in ireland they would get work as models but in eastern europe god only knows what they have to do to live,i tought workin on a farm was tough but theres alot of tougher things out there
just seen it on telly its funny you see sex and violence (not much) but that doesnt disturb me but when it showed the old people that hits you,the end confused me though like how is pauli ever goin to get work in ukraine ive traveled czech rep , poland ,slovakia etc outside the tourist places theres nothin just big soviet flats for miles and when olga was laughin at the end she got over the old man really quick?
You shouldn't judge Olga by her cover. She is in a very precarious situation. She doesn't love the old man, it's a fact. But how could you possible blame her for doing the best thing she can to survive ? She is the one you should feel pity for. This movie shows a system, rather than people. It's an allegory.
this is fucked up! i see the earth as a dirty miserable and cold shit hole after watching this movie, but this feeling is because we shut our eyes to the real life somewhere there. Carry on living in the beautiful American dreams
this world IS shitty, this movie is good for those who think otherwise.
