i viewed this movie with mix feelings about shokof films as i was under the impression that he is turned to a political filmmaker rather than the true artist filmmaker he once was. his stylish debut film seven servants blew my mind away and then thereafter i never heard of him again until a film called Hitler,s grave started getting raves and viewers from most peculiar places and again the film was not available anywhere in the world? however with all this confusing information and myth about the man and his works and life , i suddenly got a one in a life time chance to view the movie, strange stranger first hand out. praise the lord the true artist stood out tall again where i just saw perhaps the boldest most wonderfully instructed film i had seen ever since Fellini,s satyr icon or perhaps any of ........ really terrific from the start to the end. the performances are just great. the directing is so timed and accurate that one expects the film has been under careful research and pre production for years. that,s how long it takes for any standard film to be made in Europe, but an out of standard frame of a film? man just forget it. despite all the complications where the man himself explained about how they made this great work of art that actually has all the elements of becoming also a popular hit, a movie is there that is made with heart, great thoughts and above all bravery from an army of believers of Mr.Shokof,s works.having seen strange stranger i am a believer now as well. count me in and please, ask me to work with you honorably for no fees as long as i could get a DVD. really one of the world,s best minds behind the camera who also knows how the write most incredible original stories ever. o, by the way, the music is a knock out. see this move 1 9, cause i just never thought a 10 is permitted to be given to any director,s film while living. otherwise i would easily give this rare movie a 10.
