Bausch remains among the most underread of our contemporary masters, and perhaps for having the most ironic of flaws, the one some critics found in Kazuo Ishiguro's "The Remains of the Day": perfection.
A 19-year-old works as a painter with his alcoholic father in "Luck" while their relationship is envied by a rich man whose bond with his own son is poor, but who doesn't see the flaws in the relationship he envies.
The epistolary "Letter to the Lady of the House" is a poignant meditation, written by a man on the eve of his 70th birthday to his wife of half a century, which reflects the course by which early marital hope and warmth can erode to suffocation, even rancor.
AndyBausch explains this method and time frame of shooting by the limited budget that was at his disposal.
Bausch claims that his "heart goes out to the little man," namely the working class, "because the Luxembourgish people also have other faces" than those represented by the banker stereotype.
Thus Bausch establishes himself as a defender of the national cinema culture representing the nation's culture and using the nation's language.
