I believe this is one of Seidl's first full features. I'm a big of the man and his styles and themes. Done with his traditional static camera shots. With few distractions, few characters, brutal clipping and a documentary-look we follow some models that act very stereotypically. They snort, they party, they care about their bodies and looks more than anything and they feel really sorry for themselves.
Interesting at times, but it's basicly two hours of uninteresting jabbing from uninteresting girls. Quite nasty at times and very realistic - in means of typical prejudice at least.
Not my favorite from the director. It's a bit older and it never hits me as directly as other of his films. The point is made after 10 minutes or so. The next 100 minutes does not offer much else.
5.5 out of 10 lipsticks.

Models is a rather bizarre film, which essentially follows the everyday lives of three models who pine for fame and fortune in the modeling game. The first thing that jumped out at me about this film is Uldrich Seidl's use of wide, steady voyeurist shot compositions which really do aid in creating a documentary type feel which really works for this film. We are shown a slice of life type film from a very cynical man who has a rather negative viewpoint on the daily social scene of modern life. We witness everything in their lives from the casual conversations to their sexual escapades it it all feels so damn real. These characters talk about their wants and desires but Seidl's wide angles show loneliness in these characters. I have a lot of trouble quantifying this film, but for me it really spoke to the selfishness and vanity which plagues our society, but I really need to watch this one a few more times to grasp it. Hell, being that this is my third Ulrich Seidl flick, I still can't decide if I even like him or not....

Now this is "mumblecore hard-core", just from Austria and years before. For me it's a lucky strike and perfect film.

Tyylipuhdas Eurooppalainen Art House -elokuva, jota on vaikea mieltää dokumenttieliokuvaksi. Kohtausten kuvasommittelu ja -rajaus on kekseliästä ja paikoin nerokkuutta hipovaa. Sisältö tarjoaa sitten vastapainoksi kahden tunnin verran sen sortin "tosi-tv:tä", jotta kofeiinivarasto kannattaa olla tankattuna ennen leffan katsomista. Ainakin jos meinaa jaksaa loppuun asti.
