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

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.

Nurlan drives his train every day through rural Azerbaijan and a suburb of the megacity of Baku. There is so little space in this slum that the residents hang up their clotheslines over the railroad tracks.

During one of these rides, a nice blue bra gets caught on the train from Nurlan. Who in the district is the owner of the laundry? Nurlan sets out on an unusual mission to find the woman and maybe love.

The film by German director Veit Helmer tells the warmhearted story in quiet pictures and without dialogue. A bold cinematic experiment, only visually we follow the Protagonist on his extraordinary quest - experiment succeeded - highly recommended.

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.

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