CGiii Comment

A rare diamond of a film.

Sit back and be spellbound - these films don't come along very often.

What Whoopi would have done for this role?!?!? One can only imagine.

The(ir) Blurb...

Out of Rosenheim (Bagdad Café) is a look into the minds and lives of some people most of us have met but few of us know much about. This movie exemplifies how one person in the right place can affect a community of lives. The Adlons seem to express the view that all change and "magic" comes from hard work and mutual acceptance. A well-crafted view of the lives of tourists everywhere and the difficulties they can face. A Whimsical and lovingly Photographed look at the vast wasteland that is too often ignored by much of humanity.
