reception
Age rating
In Germany, the film was approved by the FSK from the age of 16. The statement of reasons for the release states that the film is mostly told calmly, but gloomy fantasies and moments of shock break into the flow of the images. In addition, the film shows individual depictions of violence and explicit sex scenes, which can irritate and overwhelm children and young people under the age of 16, as the stylized, parable-like narrative offers them little orientation.
Reviews
In Siberia hardly anything seems to fit, says Carolin Weidner in the taz , “at least not if you expect a film that tells of a world that can be grasped with eyes and ears. Siberia almost seems like a hallucination. You might think you 've fallen into disturbing dreams after a long evening at the cinema. "Anyone who recently saw Tommaso , Ferrara's last film, continues Weidner, is familiar with it:" Virtuously and succinctly staged, the film kept peace of mind in the realm of language look out for Tommaso. Siberia provides the endeavor with opulent images. And alcohol. "
