Home from Home: Chronicle of a Vision

Nadin

Cinematographically, this is an astonishing piece and a real advance compared to the previous Heimat films. But narrative-wise, I'm not entirely sure where to situate this. It is certainly good, and enjoyable, when you have seen the Heimat trilogy. But I didn't find it as gripping.

José Neves

Historical "quality" film, or how the cinematic expression can be reduced to the lowest common denominator. "Exemplary" story with artistic precepts, in which the digital teams up with a "photoshop" purpose and image acquires an hyper-meaning, simultaneously reducer and pleonastic. The banality of "art cinema" in all its obvious expression. As Von Trier, Spielberg,Reygadas, Haneke,Wenders... "Arte" is their channel

Roberto Carlos

Die Andere Heimat is an epic tale of aspiration, hope and (broken) dreams. It's a captivating, moving and surprisingly funny masterpiece. Plus, Werner Herzog's cameo at the end - what an icing on the cake!

Une oeuvre magique d'une phénoménale intelligence qui allie avec efficacité et dextérité, le compte-rendu politique d'une époque, l'exposé en finesse de quelques individualités confrontés aux vicissitudes historiques, une remarquable maîtrise scénaristique et une technicité époustouflante, avec quelques étonnantes et subtiles touches de couleur éparses d'une indéniable et troublante beauté... www.cinefiches.com
