Two nude, female-presenting figures perform a minimal waltz to Strauss’s “The Blue Danube” on a stage resembling a variety show set. Their repetitive movements are simple: arm to hip, slight hip swing, step forward and back. Behind them, a painted black canvas shows two blue clouds and a central vase with an abstract bouquet, tied with red-white-red barrier tape—evoking the Austrian flag. A painter’s table with a sponge juts into the frame. The setting and music, full of ironic national and artistic references, create an ambiguous, imperfect tableau. Directed by Ashley Hans Scheirl and Ursula Pürrer, the film is a remake.
