Luba

About This Movie

Luba is a fascinating gem from 1990 that dives into the chaotic world of 1941 Rotterdam, where our protagonist, Roberto, navigates a minefield of political intrigue and personal peril. The film's pacing can be erratic, but it captures the tense atmosphere of a city under siege, filled with shadows and whispers. Themes of survival and the irony of invention are palpable, especially with his quirky, yet oddly poignant, non-running silk stockings serving as a metaphor for the futility of the chase. The performances, while not widely recognized, have a rawness that adds authenticity to the characters' plight, making it a distinctive piece for those intrigued by lesser-known socio-political dramas.
