review
- Michael Omasta wrote in Falter on April 21, 2006: In the No Name City, thirty kilometers south of Vienna, everything is just as real as it is fake. So really fake. The guns, the Stetsons, the saloon, the sheriff, the narrow-gauge railway: a life in sets. Only the problems here, like everywhere else, are really real. This explains, perhaps, the rather peculiar form of the film of the same name: "No Name City" is a documentary, undoubtedly - but one in which all protagonists, including the filmmaker, are also actors, "the piece" that they rehearse , but has nothing to do with art, it means life.
- On March 29, 2006, Hans Schifferl wrote in the Süddeutsche Zeitung: In his melancholy morality about late capitalist times, Flicker tries to tease out a truth out of mendacious behavior. And he senses that the contradiction between good and bad, between cosmopolitan art and narrow-minded narrow-mindedness, seems to be dissolving. Even the “small world” can turn into utopia in rare moments.
- Petra Schaner writes on allesfilm.com : " In sequences that seem unrelated at first glance, Flicker entangles his (self-) actors in conversations about life in the city, friendship and rivalry and about undesirable hierarchies. Little by little, it becomes almost like that something like a city portrait and the result is a rather bleak picture, which could also be to blame for the choice of pictures. The gaze is constantly panning across the empty paths, you see people who, despite their idealistic attitude, are often at the end of their optimism. "
