11/16/2012 Aussi enigmatique et stylisé que les précédents films de Hochhäusler. See more Erik P @Erikplaisier 11/05/2012 What a horrible film. See more Grant S 08/11/2012 So-so movie. Central plot was interesting, though drawn out. Ending was a bit tangential. See more 04/03/2012 loved the travelling shots :P See more 12/15/2011 its been a while to watch a german movie.
