The film is titled sometimes Bagdad Café and titled Out of Rosenheim in Germany.

[8.5/10] This film is truly one of a kind—a unique story and approach that you won’t see anywhere else. If you’re in the mood for something completely different, I’d recommend giving it a try. It’s pretty chaotic and a bit stressful at times, yet it’s consistently funny—sometimes not through outright jokes, but through sheer absurdity. The original music is well-suited to the story, but I also enjoyed the inclusion of classical pieces by Bach. While some scenarios were off-putting or just completely baffling, nothing felt like a major problem in the grand scheme, which was a relief. Overall, _Bagdad Cafe_ is memorable and worth a watch (and probably a rewatch). I’ll definitely recommend it to anyone who’s seen a lot of movies but is craving something new.

This was surprisingly sweet little movie about women who come from two completely different cultures yet have a similar shared experience (the men in their lives are dogs). I think it is also a commentary on depression. I think one of the themes that I ejoyed most was seeing how the one lead reacted when her decrepit living area was even marginally improved. Sometimes we all need a to see a little improvement in order for us to get out of our doldrums. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

"Jasmin" (Marianne Sägebrecht) arrives after a barney with her husband, with just her suitcase, at a glorified truck stop where the ramshackle motel is run by the feisty "Brenda" (CCH Pounder). What now ensues is a rather whimsical story that sees the latter woman put up the barricades to her new g More
