A dramatization of the unfinished three-act opera exploring the lives of Jews in Europe.

Chicago Reader

Straub and Huillet's investigation of the medium is an important experience for anyone interested in the way film represents reality-or fails to.

Film Comment Magazine

The film scrapes away the reverential patina surrounding religious subject matter to reveal contemporary urgency.

The stark images are as passionate and engaging, profound and beautiful as the complex music to which they insightfully respond.

Compelling and formidable, Straub and Huillet turn Schoenberg's opera into a fascinating cinematic experience which charts the regression of an oppressed people.

Rated: 4/5

Tomas Trussow

The Lonely Film Critic

This is something akin to counter-opera, which takes the fundamental signifiers and repurposes them in revolutionary ways. What this begets is both alienating and enlightening.

Rated: 4.5/5
