    Exquisite documentary masterpiece

    This masterpiece of a documentary by director Ulrich Seidl, who is best known for "Hundstage" ("Dog Days"), is his full length debut. Exquisitely beautiful and disturbing at the same time, it shows the world of the immigrant street newspaper sellers in Vienna, working in all weathers for very little money. With no "voice-over" commentary, Seidl lets the subjects of his film speak for themselves - and very eloquently, even when this is by means of silent images. Very similar in style to his fictional works, in which non-actors are often used to give an authentic feel, this is essential Seidl and probably the best documentary I have ever seen.
