Review of Requiem

Requiem (2006)
4/10
Nice shooting, bad storytelling
13 September 2006
The great thing about this film is that it has its total and very own style. It stays perfectly loyal to the time in what it is set. Even camera movement is adjusted to it: sudden zooms, hand-held camera work and nearly no music added. Acting performances are interesting and mostly convincing. Although this will help you through the film in an interesting way, it is not enough to make it a good film...

I have been looking for the conflict in this film and I have been looking for the central message of the director. They are there alright, but I have not experienced a single moment of being sucked into or swept out of the movie. I think it would be far more shocking to read actual facts about the girl to whom this happened for real, than to watch this fictive movie that misses its clue.
