Reception
Richard Brody of The New Yorker reviewed the film in 2008: "Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands."[1]
gollark: Advertising companies have just run themselves into the ground with increasingly intrusive, tracking-y and annoying adverts, so I just block basically all ads.
gollark: Imagine not using the definition of decade which is actually commonly accepted and easy to understand.This post made by people who think this is the next decade gang.
gollark: Really, we just use all the channels as if they have no labels.
