Review of Alois Nebel (2011) by Luke R — 25 Sep 2012
A mute stranger appears on a small train station managed by Alois, an introverted man who is run past by time. So begins a beautiful, deeply melancholic but somewhat tedious animation "Alois Nebel," a film with heavy themes of war and the pain of survival.
Director Tomás Lunák offers somber tones and quiet moments that convey the emptiness the characters feel keenly. On the other hand the narrative isn't all that dynamic. This is beautiful stuff, but as its strength lies in emotion more than in analysis, one might have expected the presentation to be a bit more potent.
