Lore

Shot with a detail-oriented expressiveness that occasionally edges into overly precious imagery, Lore excels mostly as a survival film...

...as with all the best fairytales, there is a blackness and brutality at its centre.

Shortland's measured pacing and hypnotic visuals make this a mesmerising journey through a defeated landscape.

Samtidigt som deras resa är oerhört otäck att följa lyckas Shortland sinnligt fånga den komplicerade attraktionen mellan Lore och en ung man de möter på vägen. Det är imponerande.

Cate Shortlands survival story is like a pastoral 'Come And See', capturing the refugee experience as a haunted memory through rich, impressionistic visuals.

Filmed in short bursts of nature shots and facial close-ups, 'Lore' is as lovely and fragmented as its eponymous protagonist.
