Jauja - Recenzje

Working with Timo Salminen, a Finnish cinematographer best known for his hyperrealist lighting, Alonso crafts saturated, fine-grain images of the Patagonian wilderness.

The performances mesh beautifully with the filmmaking, which is more keenly attuned to fluctuations in the natural world that all but a handful of modern motion pictures.

Challengingly spellbinding.

Jauja is filmed so sparely, with such basic compositions, and with period costumes so artificial-looking against the timeless scrub, that often it looks like nothing so much as a silent film.

Viggo Mortensen teams up with Argentinian visionary Lisandro Alonso to deliver one of the most singularly compelling films of the year.

...a quietly magical piece of cinema, a mind-bender of the subtlest kind.

...Mortensens præstation er glimrende og billedsiden [er] usædvanligt smukt skudt af Kaurismäkis hoffotograf Timo Salminen...

...en skildring af forholdet mellem drømme og myter og den virkelighed, de er forankret i.
