It's a beatiful movie with the melancholy coldness of Eastern Europe combined with the Nordic neurotic atmosphere, an exquisite and gorgeous version of "Before sunrise" and the more subtle version "Her". The unfamiliar languages played a romantic and mysterious role in the movie, fantastic plot.

Fantastic film. "Dual" is intelligent , witty, gorgeous, quirky and real. It's about two strangers (Iben and Tina) meeting and wandering through a beautiful Old World city, sharing and experiencing the night together, whose paths could lead them anywhere. This movie is so realistic that you almost feel like you're eavesdropping. The dialogue is intelligently written, but it's the acting and the delivery of such realistic conversation between two people that makes this movie exceptional. Iben and Tina's personalities are so layered and rich. It's a beautiful film with a generous array of wonderful and touching moments.
