Vom Lokführer, der die Liebe suchte...

A poetic, funny and touching modern-times re-imagining of the Cinderella story and Chaplin's The Kid with a good cast, lovable characters, beautiful cinematography and a very fitting soundtrack. Oh, and with almost no words. :-)

I really enjoyed the fact there is a bit of everything in this movie - comedy, drama, action, suspense, erotica; love, hope, exasperation, misunderstanding, sadness, cruelty, humanity...

Unlike other people, I don't think the artistic exaggeration in a couple of the scenes was over the top - this is one of the main characteristics of comedy and in this specific instance it actually helped show in an amusing way the character's dedication to complete the mission. From what I heard around me after the end credits, the rest of the audience seemed to agree with me. Also, everyone laughed a good deal which counts as a great success in my books.

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

Quirky. Real. Real quirky. Don't listen to negative reviews. Try it. Glorious depiction of a boring life turned around, for just a minute. Some cruelty, strange passages and events. Modern day Cinderella with some quirky realness. Don't be afraid. Try it.

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.

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.
