Reviews
“The filmed graphic novel 'Alois Nebel' is the exact opposite of what you probably first think of when you hear the term 'animation film'. There are no brightly colored and hysterically good-humored animals or vegetables. Instead, this quiet and slow black and white film exudes a romantic, melancholy mood. But this is precisely what makes this German-Czech production a wonderful film. "
“This is how the cinematic Alois Nebel can also call himself an introverted, grotesque examination of a long reviled piece of post-war history. As expressive as it is sustainable. A meditative, monochrome film experience, a demystifying railway-worker blues, which creates a provocative dynamic from the passivity of the title character in the contrast of the memories of the expulsion of the Germans from the former Sudetenland. A literal force of nature on quiet, subliminal soles. Still lakes are deep. Especially in Bílý Potok. "
