Duska
JOS STELLING: A DUTCH MASTER
Director: Jos Stelling.
Netherlands, 2007.
110 mins. Dutch, Russian with English subtitles.
The submission for Best Foreign Film Oscar 2008 from the Netherlands, DUSKA is the perfect Film Festival movie. Bob is a film critic who lives opposite his favourite cinema. He is now working on a screenplay inspired by the young cashier in the cinema. While attracted to her, he expects nothing but fantasy until she has a row with her boyfriend. At the same time Duska arrives on his doorstep, a man he met at a Russian film festival some years back, but neither speaks the other?s language. Once in Bob?s apartment, Duska shows no sign of leaving. DUSKA shows all of Stelling?s fascination with language, communication and humour and with European Shooting Star, Sylvia Hoeks lighting up the picture, it is an enchanting viewing.
