Icily beautiful, moving, and disturbing.
You're plunged into urgent situations and are on your own to get your bearings. You're but a foreigner hanging onto subtitles that link you to a world not your own. How much is understood can only be partial. But the bigger picture comes across all the same.
The closeups of the children in this film move and shake, and longshots of the landscape they inhabit are powerful and unforgettable. Neorealism is alive and well.
