In a retirement allotment in Vienna, a crabby 91-year-old finds both himself and his humanity when he hires an Afghani refugee to help him in Karl Markovics’ remarkable and poignant third feature. (Fantastic Fest)
Recensie (1)
If the intimate tone between the Afghan immigrant and the Austrian retiree, haunted by the ghosts of his past, had been maintained, I probably would’ve rated this higher. But halfway through, the plot takes such an absurd turn that it became genuinely uncomfortable to keep watching. And the ending just sealed the deal on that feeling.
