Synopsis

Two smalltime crooks and an enigmatic Ukrainian looker bounce around in the uncertain world of post-communist Central Europe in Blue Moon, a highly engaging character-comedy which delivers emotionally in the final reels. Terrific casting of the three leads - popular Austrian standup comic Josef Hader, outre German comedian-helmer Detlev W. Buck, plus Ukrainian knockout Viktoria Malektorovych - raise this road movie-cum-offbeat love story several notches above the norm, coaxed along by sympathetic direction from first-timer Andrea Maria Dusl. Much of the film´s emotional clout is due to the actors themsleves, who flesh out often sketchily drawn roles against believable backgrounds shot in actual locations (Austria, Slovakia, Ukraine).
