Import Export Online Watch

By Amy Benz

A film maker and Australian writer, Ulrich Seidl, wrote the story of the Import Export movie. He claims that it is through this movie, that he looked "directly in to hell" in a clearer and sharper way. He believes that the current workforce is responsible for contributions to human pain and costs due to globalization. Values like human compassion, take a secondary seat, the fore seat is occupied by something more darker and sinister - cruelty and glee in painful spectacles.

Import Export is quite a depressing movie that takes a look at two lives that are parallel in Ukraine and Austria. Olga (Ekateryna Rak),is the first main lead from Ukraine. She is a single mother and a nurse by profession who is struggling constantly to make ends meet. The pay is lousy and the housing conditions, terrible. She reaches a conclusion one fine day, to leave her child with her mother and move to Vienna in search of a job as a cleaner or a nanny. Your browser may not support display of this image.

Paul, (Paul Hoffman) our second story main lead, belong to the working class in Austria. His body tattoos out number his qualifications. He used to work with a security firm which firms him for getting beaten up by drunken delinquents. He has but one choice now, to go with his womanising, repulsive, unpleasant, step-father, Michael (Michael Thomas) to Ukraine to sell gumball machines, fruit machines etc which are second hand to bars and cafes.

Olga gets herself a job in Austria, as a cleaner cum nanny in a house where the residents of the house treat her with contempt and fire her peremptorily with a day's notice. Because she does not have a nursing licence she gets herself a job as a cleaner at a geriatric hospital where she is forbidden to touch the patients. Here she meets the ward-sister who is a spiteful woman who constantly keeps bullying her but she also finds comfort with Erich, a patient who is kind toward her.

The film is shot in winter, therefore differences between of the housing conditions in affluent Austria and desolate Ukraine housing estates are blaring. This is a movie that cannot be watched with children as it depicts the sex industry very close to reality, where the rich use and exploit prostitutes for their own entertainment and pleasure. The crass treatment meted out to the sex workers like treating them as if they had no feelings, abusing and humiliating them constantly is vividly captured. Even Michael is shown doing this to a prostitute that he brings to his hotel room. Your browser may not support display of this image.

Other subjects like frustration, indifference toward other's sufferings, humiliation, poverty and how it forces people to stoop to various levels, are also effectively and efficiently dealt with.

Watch Import/Export online free, through streaming video sites, downloading movie sites or paid movies sites if your looking for some serious kind of movies.
