The Bra

If you love good old 36 mm cinematography, if you love pantomime, if you love silent movie, and wish to be placed back 40 years in todays '' modern life'', then take a look at this one. its just phenomenal.

i havent seen thelike since i saw'' adventures of picasso'', swedish made 1978, to find the same kind of inner joy to view a silent film.

this is a masterpiece in its genre, extremely well made and acted. a recommend from the grumpy old man

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 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.

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.

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.
