Review of Picco (2011) by Eylem E — 17 Aug 2012
It's eat or be eaten for four cellmates in a German youth prison in "Picco," a grimly realistic tale that slowly but surely wades into don't-have-lunch-before-you-watch-this territory.
Tyro scribe-helmer Philip Koch emphasizes how the daily grind of life behind bars slowly wears people down to their basest survival instincts. Despite the recent glut of strong prison pics, including "A Prophet" and "R," this soberly shot and straightly acted downer should be able to corner some Euro niche action after strong fest play.
