The roiling setting alone enforces a medieval mind-set that feels genuine: brutal yet often jovially rambunctious and crude, pre-psychological in its sense of the cheapness of life and yet rich with local custom and detail.

Rating: 4/5 -- If you're a fan of 'Andrei Rublev' and 'Stalker', don't miss this monumental film. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- One of the greatest movies to be released this year and perhaps any other, though it's hard to feel entirely at peace with the fact that it exists. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- A cinematic behemoth, an unshakable monochrome nightmare of squelching bodily discharges that inhabits a world so noxious you can almost smell the pungent deterioration of humanity as it spews forth from the screen. Full Review
