Reviews

“The film shows people in a dreary environment who repeatedly turn out to be strong, loving and human. He takes up a current topic in a contemporary way and directs the view to possibilities of life that were believed to be lost. "

- Ecumenical Jury 2009 : kurzfilmtage.de

“'Elefantenhaut' is the portrait of a woman in the Austrian provinces between her work as a packer in a print shop and taking care of her bedridden mother. The film impresses with its excellent directing performance, which gives the amateur actress space to bring in their own experiences and make them fruitful for the film. In this way the film becomes a precise study of the milieu beyond all clichés. "
