Vollgas

Sabine Derflinger is one of Austria's most talented filmmakers.In most of her films one can find themes related to women and their personal as well as professional lives.She gives enough breathing space to her feminine characters so that they are able to display their strengths and weaknesses all at the same time.Vollgas is one of her most famous films which has tremendous box office potential.It is one of the few films with a feminist perspective made in Austria.Sabine Derflinger tells the story of a waitress who is not able to strike a suitable balance between her adventurous,wild work life and her duties as her housewife.It is due to her dilly dallying that her young daughter suffers as she is not able to receive all the love which her mother can give to her.In an indirect manner Sabine Derflinger has severely criticized tourism industry in Austria which has started to take its toll on the live of innocent people such as this film's leading lady. Vollgas appears as true because of its non judgmental stance.This is an element which lends credibility to the film.
