After boring 90 minutes, I felt my times was completely wasted. If you like Kieslowsy, look somewhere else. To some people, it is artistic to portrait poor lives. It is sometimes true (Monster, Rossetta) and most time false. Edi is perfect example of how silly "art house" movies can be. A basic requirement for a basic movie is internal logic. It was obvious that the princess was protecting someone and having Edi as the easy cover up and the brothers did not suspect that. It was so ridiculous to have someone cut his balls off without fighting back even this is the kind of character the movie makers are trying to give to Edi. Don't even mention the Christmas crap, what a cheap cliché. I agree with Godard, a bad Hollywood action movie is much tolerable than a bad European art movie.

I just got my hand on this great work of art. I laughed and I cried. This movie is now a NUMBER ONE on my list. I recommend it to all intelligent creatures. BIG thumbs UP.Zbyszek from Phoenix Arizona

That's a refreshing break after other, action-packed or over-sentimental productions. Moreover, it'll probably come through to audiences abroad (I hope so). Edi and other scrap pickers are the very bottom of the society, yet they try to live their lives all the same; and as the movie goes on, they impress viewers more and more, though certainly they are not innocent. And one more thing: there are books here that play an important role in the main character's life - something I haven't seen for ages. The director admitted he used a buddhist story as a foundation for the plot and that only adds up to its universality. I recommend it strongly, regardless whether it will get the Oscar nomination or not.
