Reviews for L'Enfer
The spectre of Kieslowski flutters through the film, but his eye and touch aren't there%u2014it's hard to watch L'Enfer without wondering, what would he have done?
The characters fascinate yet confuse. Surprisingly, the film keeps us at arms length. On reflection, I enjoyed the film more after it had finished, when I could dip back into this claustrophobic world and relive the unfolding of events in my mind.
Tanovic turns the drama of three damaged sisters... into a full-blooded opera with performances to match.
A decidedly cold, protracted work marked by solid, but passionless performances and a preference for polished, fashion-magazine imagery.
A multi-layered tale that's as compelling on a surface level as it is laden with food-for-thought underneath.
For all its literary references, the thing certainly looks like a shallow though slick French melodrama.
