Dumont's cinematic style is aggressively physical and philosophical at the same time. It irritates as many viewers as it inspires, but it prompts more thought than ordinary movies ever do.

Dumont's film is unfinished in the sense that some paintings are.
88
A harsh, spellbinding tale.
84
Dumont's movie has virtually nothing wrong with it -- aside from the fact that it drives people crazy. Take the leap, but expect no answers. Just like life, as they say.

It ought to be seen, because it's a work of moral and spiritual mystery.

This curiously empty film was awarded the Jury Prize at the 1997 Cannes film festival.

Don't ask us why this minimalist drama won prizes last year at Cannes or why it is getting raves in its U.S. release.
