Audience Member A fascinating (and simple) way to tell a sad, touching story, using long static shots of the couple's daily life as a visual anchor for extradiegetic dialogue and atmospheric background sounds (the forest and the rain) - all done through an outstanding, immersive sound work.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm sure Frasier would have loved a double bill of this and 'Noch ein Stuhl'. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Hey - beautifully strange but mesmerising film all the more powerful for it's stark and melancholic tale of a simple couple waiting for the return of their son from some distant war. The story unfolds slowy, with flashbacks and day-to-day issues interwoven against a subtle atmosphere of rumbling thunder, a barking dog and a fond bickering that only comes from great familiarity. The final exit scene, complete with flickering lamp to indicate their fragile hope, is a great analogy for the final journey and it's a blissful promise of release. Quality film, worth a watch.

But, jeez, even I have limits. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
