The Red Suitcase

I watched this movie about 2 weeks ago, but I still can't get over it. The only adjective I can find about it is "painful".

It's painfully slow, painfully sad and when you leave the cinema it stays with you. He story unfolds slowly, the dialogs are slow. There's overall atmosphere of the movie, that is quite stuffy. But all this slowness makes sense in the end and is an essential part of the plot.

It's also incredibly smart and full of cultural references. I was lucky to watch this movie during a festival. The screening was followed by QnA with the director, who explained one or two more difficult references.

Overall, it's probably the best movie I watched this year. Highly recommended, if you know what to expect :-D.
