Berlinale Panorama 1999
Selected Filmography Ulrich Seidl: Good News: Von Kolporteuren, toten Hunden und anderen Wienern, 1990; Mit Verlust ist zu rechnen, 1992; Die letzten Männer, 1994; Tierische Liebe, 1995.
Vivian, Tanja and Lisa: three women, three models and three girlfriends looking for love and a career, Mr. Right and a perfect body. This documentary walks the line between reality and illusion, mercilessly voyeuristic and full of empathy, so much humanness amidst the frivolity of the fashion industry. Eccentric Vienna director Ulrich Seidl ("Die letzten Männer", "Tierische Liebe") has created a film chock full of ambivalence about the topic it deals with.
