Reviews

" The first long feature film by Alain Tanner impresses with genuine critical engagement, psychological skills, the sober language of film and the playful inclusion of quotations, ranging from Marx to Benjamin folk wisdom. A convincing dealing with a life crisis and at the same time a bitter description of the Swiss reality. "
