AALTRA is a film that frequently brings a smile to your face and every now and than you will laugh out loud. As the humor is often pitch black, don't feel strange if you are embarrassed by your own laugh. The blackness of it all is underlined by the fact that the film is in black and white. It tells the tale of two men who are constantly at each other's throat, until they both get stuck in a no-perspective situation ánd with each other. The film is a bit of a slow starter, but once the two men are "on the road" more and more moments are either funny or hilarious. I especially loved the encounters with the Flemmish and German speaking well-doers. It is one of those rare films where a certain shot can be a funny shot in itself, I mean without further verbal explanation or build-up. And hey... you will never listen to "Sunny" with the same ears ever again.
