Top CriticModernist stylization has its place in narrative film, but in this case less would have meant much more.

Magisterially filmed, this movie demands at almost every instant to be regarded as a masterpiece, though for me it's too full of itself and its own virtue. Still, I can't deny it's an experience worth having.

Top CriticConstructed from long elegant takes, and moving fluidly between naturalism and tableaux-like theatricality, it's a mesmerising work of arresting beauty and impressive emotional power.

The overall effect is genuinely entrancing, with a sense of tragic inevitability that gives meaning to the film's maddeningly attenuated rhythms.

Top CriticThis ambitious film fails to compel. Too many closeups of disposed Lenin statues.
09/30/03
Angelopoulos' film is lyrically evocative but painfully self-important.
05/02/01
The film's images are always powerful, even if the dialogue seems superfluous.
01/01/00
This grim travelogue through a landscape of despair lacks internal power. It feels labored and portentous.

Top CriticWhile it's beautiful, even graceful, and though its heart is in the right place, there's just as much to condemn as there is in its favor.

What arrogance and self-importance this film reveals.
01/01/00
Top CriticJournalistic fairness compels me to note that this film won a Special Jury Prize at Cannes. However, I strongly suspect that those judges were cowed more than won over. We don't have to make the same mistake.
01/01/00
It has a remoteness, with the viewer always the observer, not the participant.
