Fantastic Fest 2014
Screening #7
Excellent Drama with a fairy tale vibe to it starring Vicky Vale (excuse me, Kim Basinger). It's in English but it's from Denmark and Germany. Good performances. Kim Basinger plays Maria. She can't have a baby and can't wait for the adoption process so she takes desperate measures and goes on the road to find a baby. Not just any baby. She wants to rescue a baby from a prostitution ring controlled by the Russian mob. With the help of a dwarve, yes, you heard me right, she goes on her mission. A spiritual baby that talks to God also guides her. It's a slow moving movie but touching as well. Nice to see a cameo by Peter Stormare (Fargo) as the Russian prostitution mob leader. Enjoyed it!
The director of the film was present for a Q and A. He directed a ervenge movie that was a hit in 2007 called "Princess." Gotta check it out.
No trailer found for this movie.
