Bagdad Café (1987)
(Out of Rosenheim)
Country: GER
Technical: col 95m
Director: Percy Adlon
Cast: Marianne Sägebrecht, Jack Palance
Synopsis:
A German woman arrives with her suitcase at a middle-of-nowhere Texas motel, and stays, determining to bring joy and colour to this small piece of God's earth.
Review:
A huge arthouse success at the time, Adlon's film is one of those quiet pleasures in which quirky characters and observation count for much, and story very little. Its optimism means that you barely notice, however.
