Ludvik is a former speedway champ who has drifted into the lucrative business of people-trafficking, pocketing fistfuls of euros from desperate souls as they are shoved into his van, waiting to be taken across the border into Italy. Young and inexperienced Rudi is his new assistant. In a story straight from the headlines, Ludvik inducts Rudi into the blood-chilling illegal immigrant trade, a squalid world where the refugees are considered disposable, sexual exploitation is par for the course, and the paying customers are just as likely to be drugged and used as "spare parts" (unwilling organ donors), once they are safely over the border. (official distributor synopsis)

Slovenian film is not something you see every day, and in general, for every interesting European production, one should be grateful in the flood of American commerce, but soberly speaking, neither thematically nor in terms of execution do Spare Parts represent something innovative or exceptional. The director approached the topic soberly, almost in a documentary naturalistic style, but the screenplay is not as striking and emotional as to truly captivate the viewer. There is a lack of genuine dramatic confrontation and, in fact - thanks to the directorial approach - there is also a lack of atmosphere. The film is strong more in terms of its subject than its execution. A decent piece to watch once, but it does not belong among the strong films of today... Overall impression: 65%.
