Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

johray-plus No, I'm not into Heimatfilm!!! The more I'm delighted by finding this masterstroke by Fredi Murer. A film that can't be compared to anything I've yet. The swiss alps are home and place of this drama. Bub and Belli are sisters and they fall in love; mostly cause there is no one else to fall in love with on their father's farm. The actors do amazing work on their difficult characters while the whole setting is beautiful and depressing at once... Even humor isn't completely lacking in this drama!A film that produces unforgettable moods and scenes....Watch it!!!

Drogo_Tighfield I saw this movie in the Filmoteca of my city, Zaragoza, in a cycle of contemporary Swiss cinema, without any ideas above it, and I discovered a movie astonishing, narrated of the most personal way. It's nothing conventional, in spite of it's a film located in mountains and with a family of farmers (no, it's not Heidi).This hardest history includes very interesting transgressions like the incest of two brothers, where he, in addition, is mental delayed and to whom interest the feminine bodies more and more to him, so not known in those places for him.In Spain I at least do not have certainty of which it was released, in the year of its accomplishment, 1985.Finally, in press book which I saw of this film he put a thing that called the attention to me; "this film it could have been invented by Buñuel...or a Japanese". I agree.

Tom Dillingham (tfdill) It is impossible to speak of the central fact of the plot of this lovely film without spoiling it, but it is worth mentioning that it draws on (and asks to be compared to) Alpine folktales. The isolation of the family is an aspect of many Swiss and other montagnard tales; in this film, the tension between the lure of the modern world (it happens in 1984, after all) and the traditional ways of the mountain is constantly there, but somewhat subdued. The choice of the family to keep their deaf son at home (rather than institutionalizing him) leads to dramatic complications and precipitates the startling conclusion (not "inadequate," in my view, but definitely open to varied interpretation). That the son breaks rock--both as punishment and as a kind of affirmation of his connection to the natural world--while the mother continues prayers to the Blessed Virgin that seem never to have been answered, nor likely to be--also link the story to traditional folktales. Overall, it has that in common with John Sayles's Secret of Roan Inish and perhaps Julie Dash's Daughters of the Dust, but there is very little reverence for the past in this film, as contrasted with those others. It is definitely a film worth renting and viewing. Slow, yes, but intense.

Holy-4 This is a really interesting movie with an open end. For me, Johanna Lier, who played Belli, did a great job and made this movie really good.
