Import Export (2008) ****
After "Dog Days" (2001), Austrian director Ulrich Seidl comes up with another provocative satire about contemporary society. This time, his merciless camera observes (among other things) the lives of Ukrainian prostitutes and their Austrian clients. The film was presented at the Cannes Film Festival to wide critical acclaim.

Dog Days (2001) ***
This is a truly strange Austrian film. Actually most of Austrian films are strange (Götz Spielmann's ''Antares'' and Michael Haneke's ''The Piano Teacher'' also come to mind). Directed by Ulrich Seidl, ''Dog Days'' is set in a middle-class suburb of Vienna during two of the hottest days of the year. There is no plot, only a series of anecdotes illustrating such happy themes as sexual aggression, loneliness, as well as lack of integrity and violation of intimacy.
