Bagdad Cafe
By a customer from Cornwall , 25 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Jasmin,leaves her husband in the middle of the Mojave Desert with only a suitcase and walks to the Bagdad Cafe. Mix a plump Bavarian woman wound tighter than a drum with an American family living at the edge of despair, a lot of dirt and the heat of the desert and you get quite a nifty little movie. If you like them original and quirky this one's for you.- Was this review helpful to you?

Extremely Slow Moving Film
By a customer from Hove , 22 Dec 2008My husband gave up on this film after 45 minutes. I continued watching it because it was so different. But according to me, nothing ever happened. If there was a message, it went right over my head. I notice that some critics wrote that it's about the friendship that develops between two women. I couldn't see that. I also couldn't understand why one woman went from screaming at a woman to being nice to her just because she said, 'I have no children.' One of our main characters goes through the film hollering at everyone, then she breaks into the room of our heroine, finds her playing with her kids, snatches the kids away from her, kicks her out of the hotel and says 'Go play with your own kids, lady.' Our Bavarian big-breasted heroine says sadly, 'I don't have any.' And suddenly she's allowed to stay and play with the kids, puts on a performance and the screaming, hollering mother character never hollers again. I don't know but maybe I'm not intelligent enough to understand this arthouse film.- Was this review helpful to you?

Brilliant!
By CromartyJohn (4 reviews) from Cromarty, Scotland , 09 Aug 2008I was recommended this film by a close friend. At the beginning there is a dialogue in German and I thought I had the language set wrong - but no, it soon turned into English and the film seems to get better and better as it goes on. I thought it was brilliant and will be buying a copy as it would repay repeated viewing.- Was this review helpful to you?

I love this one.
By Robert Dawson from Cardiff,Wales. , 31 Jan 2008The best way I can review this is by imagining a scene:
I'm stranded on a desert island.......suddenly I see a footprint in the sand......is this fellow inhabitant hostile, indifferent to my suffering or merely a top bloke/girl who prefers rugby to football,likes the Spice Girls and loves Feta cheese.
A work of genius.
Highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?
