More than merely respectful, the film succeeds in showing a self-sufficient society aware of the outside world yet choosing to remain true to its traditions and distinct rhythm of life.

The Dead and the Others is an admirably committed enterprise. Sadly, as a cinematic experience, it is flat and functional.
