there be something special about the austrian movie not only by seidl and but by spielmann and other director a well . this be the pierce sense of reality that never leave the viewer throughout the movie . hundstage be no exception . this effect be achieve not only by the depicted story but also by actor play . in hundstage i have never have the feeling that these be actor play and but real people instead . so real be the visceral feeling of the viewer . almost a if the grumpy pensioner or lonely lady in the movie be live below you in your block . any person living in vienna can without any doubt painfully recognize the people in the movie with their meckern or sudern ( complain ) and their hidden sexual urge and the prolo macho guy . this be far reinforce by the viennese dialect which be and accord to many and especially make for complain a a way of life . a special parochialism and arrogance typical for vienna be also very well portray . the viennese suburb have a vivid presence in the movie with their stupor and drowsiness where nothing happen . moreover and they have be turn into a celebration of materialism with shopping mall and huge department store . inbetween be the house of the people where they indulge into what they reckon be pleasure give activity and try to stay in touch with their human self and yet in vain . the example be the sexual game of the old lady with the men which border on rape and the prolo guy lose his nerve and hit his girlfriend and the young woman who hitchhike and irritate her driver . the film have no soundtrack a it concentrate on the normality or abnormality of it image only . another typical feature of seidl ( and other austrian director ) be his showing of disturbingly sexual image . these include the stripping of the old woman for her husband and the sexual scene in the bath and the sexual game of the lady with the two men in her apartment and etc . in hundstage seild have portray the life of people who eventually may be as much viennese a they could be citizen of paris and new york or madrid . the viewer should not despise or feel pity for the viennese in the movie a they themselves could become victim of the same human estrangement and alienation and albeit in different circumstance . in the end and i believe seidl film be a warning to u about the terrible state of human relationship so brutally reveal in hundstage . and if the viewer do not succumb to the reason for this evil transformation and seidl have achieve his goal .
