reception

Reviews

“The film takes up both anecdotal and historically verified elements and combines them into a fleeting sketch of a fading legend. The Heimatfilm, which is compelling in terms of both content and form, thrives on the power of reduction and reflects a contemporary understanding in its detached, relaxed look. "
