Movie #2175 "Luxembourg, Luxembourg" (Chicago Film Fest) This is the film I enjoyed the most at the Chicago film festival this year, but I'm not sure you would ever be able to see it --- if you do get a chance, I recommend it --- the movie is so well done....just in the opening, it gives a brief introduction of these two twin brothers by showing them jumping a freight train and then jumping off --- well, one does that, the other just waves goodbye to his brother because he is too scared to jump off --- it shows right away the difference in these two boys. As they grow up, juxtaposition is shown that the brothers go in different directions --- one becomes a cop, the other drives a bus, but sells drugs on the side. In the Ukraine, where this takes place, the cop's job is in jeopardy since his brother is dealing illegally with drugs so that sets up a conflict --- the other is the way they saw their dad, the one who left them at an early age. He is dying in Luxembourg, and they go to find him. It's one emotional journey through their lives, and the fact it takes place in Ukraine made it even more important for us to see the story unfold. I'd give it a 5.
