“Provokes purely visual tension by using devices totally alien to the crime film genre”.
Oti Rodríguez, ABC
“The contrast between the character’s profile and the actor’s real personality—amiable, effusive, talkative—says a lot about the acting skills of this journalist on leave of absence”.
EL CORREO
“Olimpia Melinte, outstanding”.
Oskar L. Belategui, EL CORREO
“Impeccable performance from Antonio de la Torre”.
Anton Merikaetxebarria, EL CORREO
“Powerful story about a Granada tailor played by an excellent Antonio de la Torre. Applause in the theatre, praise all round after the screening”.
Mitxel Ezquiaga, EL CORREO
“A film with precise images that captivate the audience, slowly building towards a disquieting atmosphere”.
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL CORREO
“The austere texture, the exquisite beauty of every single shot, the subtly infectious climate of loneliness and emptiness (…) are wonderful. And Antonio de la Torre is an impressive force, with his presence and silences, not to mention the look in his eyes…”.
Mikel G. Gurpegui, EL CORREO
“One of the most evocative and opportune films in the Official Section”.
Luis Martínez, EL MUNDO
“The scenes in Sierra Nevada are visually hypnotic, the Romanian actress Olimpia Melinte’s voice and face ooze authenticity, and the excellent Antonio de la Torre interprets the director’s orders to the letter, creating a character that comes across as hieratic rather than disturbing”.
Carlos Boyero, EL PAÍS
“Impeccable style, skilfully crafted photography and faith in Antonio de la Torre’s performance”.
Gregorio Belinchón, EL PAÍS
“Combines that same sensitivity with greater mellowness, depth and maturity, as well as a disciplined visual style and firm command of tone”.
David Rooney, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“Parades its icy tone with style and distinction through the Official Section”.
Zulet, DIARIO VASCO
“With «Wolf» and «Japanese Dog», New Directors makes the qualitative leap forward we’ve all been waiting for".
Víctor Esquirol, GARA
“ Tudor Cristian Iurgiu surprised everyone with his superlative exercise in minimalism”.
Víctor Esquirol,GARA
“Jim Taihuttu had the Kursaal 2 audience on their feet with his astonishing conviction”.
Víctor Esquirol, GARA
