Review: Alois Nebel

“sure to draw comparisons to Ari Folman’s 2008 Waltz With Bashir for its style, but in fact it feels more like a nightmarish noir, one from which the present is most certainly imprisoned and informed by the past, and one most certainly evoking classic Czech films, a la Jiri Menzel.”
