🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Akerman constructs the film on a tense counterpoint of image and sound. She explores mechanisms of memory and alienation, relying on a minimalist aesthetic and the rhythmic editing of urban tableaux that become a metaphor for an inner state.
Those who tire of conventional narratives will find a rigorous, contemplative work where emotional turmoil is locked within silent frames and a monotonous voiceover. What lingers after viewing is a poignant sense of distance and a profound understanding of how geography transforms intimacy. — MovieFinder Editorial
