Admittedly there are some very strong films around this year, but this is sui generis.

It, unfortunately, had only one screening at MIFF. <br />It is, as you say, extraordinary. What an achievement. <br />The film is being released on September the 24th.<br />I have been a little puzzled by the lack of coverage the film received here. There are some very good reviews Martin Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18256411616693007783noreply@blogger.com
