    Either you'll love it or won't see the point. Intimate and strange - with glacial pacing & microscopic detail in the small things, it's a fascinating & thought provoking film!

  • images that burn and linger

    This is a very, very slow burn. Not much happens, but that gives you plenty of time to think about what does, and its meanings and implications. It's beautifully shot, a bit like Tarkovsky, and like Tarkovsky , the memory lingers on, long after...Definitely not for the impatient, or lovers of action-packed blammer-blammer car-chases.

    Amazing film! Can't believe we sat for over two hours glued to the very slow and repetitive story but it was so riveting and we just couldn't pull away. Would watch it again.

  • Hard work.

    Rated - 2.5 stars

    It looks beautiful, but the snail like pacing and excessive running time (considering how little actually happens) make it a real slog to get through.

  • The Single Horse of The Apocalypse

    Rated - 4.5 stars  
    By Marienbad (1 review) , 07 Feb 2013
    A great director who restores one's faith in visionary film making. The textured detail of banal inevitability. Dread served on a monochrome, expressionist palette.
