Timbuktu

...dialectical and enigmatic, full of subverted tensions and allegorical characters who are complicated by contradiction and shading...

...a work of almost breathtaking visual beauty, but it manages to ravish the heart while dazzling the eye simultaneously, neither at the expense of the other.

Exceptional, human filmmaking.

Sissako creates an interrelated series of characters and tableaux giving us scenes from the life of a traumatised nation.

...et betagende smukt billeddigt om et brutalt samfund og en nuanceret skildring af de involverede parter.

...en sällsynt film i sin rörelse mellan drömsk skönhet, stilistisk renhet och stenhård politisk verklighet.
