IMDb Rotten Tomatoes Wikipedia

Notable Critics

"The crisp black-and-white photography and brisk panning shots across alluring landscapes capture the cruelty of the times and the pitiless course of history with a bitter majesty."

— Richard Brody

"Lyrical and nightmarish in turns, but in no way nostalgic, Jude's reconstruction of this world makes for one of the most striking films of the last year, and a flamboyant anomaly in today's often cautious world of European art cinema."

— Jonathan Romney
