At first I thought there had been a problem in the cutting room till I realized this is expressionistic, not realistic. There is an extremely disturbing scene toward the end. Men can be so depraved. Loved the last frames though, magical, haunting.7/10

I always found the balancing act between comedy and drama in eastern European movies very challenging and exhilarating....certainly never dull. This is a classic example of squeezing out of a mostly disturbing plot a Danubian river,literally,of humoristic yet shocking lifelines....gags and corpses,love and depravities...truly a tragic sense of humour in a very chaotic and slowly changing world....4/5.
