Screenplay: Valeska Grisebach. Twitter Capsule:
Genius intervention into its titular genre—narratively, spatially, and politically—but sublimely achieves its own identity.
Second Capsule:
Precisely engineered, while seeming to discover itself scene by scene. Utterly unforced realism iridescent with big ideas.
VOR:⑤
Sharp and valuable on intra-European relations, particularly around language and culture. Smart on genre. Inspired with genre. A feat on all fronts.
