Vom Lokführer, der die Liebe suchte...

What a clever, delightful, funny, witty film this is. It came out of left field, and stayed centred. I thoroughly enjoyed the viewing experience.

I'm no expert but, I believe there are three 1st with this movie. The first silent movie of the 21st century, the first silent movie in COLOUR, and the first silent movie with no story boards.

I am smiling as I write this little review, that says something. I'll never think of Bra in the same way again, not even in schoolboy French, which raised schoolboy tittilation (french translation for the uninitiated is ARM).

When I hear or see a Bra in the future, I will be transported once more, to a cinematic gem. The cast were fantastic, the direction was brilliant, the cinematography was unbelievable. This movie left me with a warm glow, which I haven't felt in some years

Blockbusters are good for the wallet, movies like this are good for the viewer.

I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm glad I saw it on a whim. It didn't take long for the silent story to captivate me, and having travelled myself to similar cultured places was surprised to see the authenticity. The story is an obvious take on Cinderella where the protagonist is trying to find one specific person who owns this bra. But with a unique culture twist. I enjoyed it very much

Great acting, beautiful shots, awesome music and most of all, an interesting story said without speaking a word. Definitely for the more intelligent viewers.

The first gift of the film is Miki Manojlovic. The fans of Kusturica know why. The second - in my case- Maia Morgenstern. The secod gift - the atmosphere, and the simplicity of story and flavours of so many books, films, near reality fragment. Not the last - the special poetry proposed by the absence of dialogue and the cinematography. And, sure, the boy, the great small boy. So, many gifts of this not ordinary but profound touching of Cinderella story.

The Bra is the funniest film I saw at IFFK 2022 at the time of writing. More so because a lot can go wrong in a film like this that often inadvertently tries to enter misogyny territory but never does. You can't predict what's going to happen and that's the charm of the lead character in this silent film that's periodically funny and ultimately poignant. I 100% enjoyed the film like I had never before and it's for that experience I give it a full 10. I'm gonna think about it days and kaybe weeks ahead and would highly recommend my women friends to give it a try so that I can know if the idea of liking the film is mutual.
