Some viewers will dismiss Autumn Blood as a pretentious Euro-art iteration of Straw Dogs. For those willing to be open to its experimentation and more charitable about its many faults, the film can provide a powerful experience and serve as an fascinating testament to the tenuous nature of the social contract.

The structure of Autumn Blood and its metaphors are obvious, but what makes it engaging, even haunting, are the messy flesh-and-blood characters. Read full review

An odd, unpleasant 2011 thriller from Austria only now earning limited U.S. release. It’s a reminder of why so few filmmakers experiment with visual-only storytelling. It’s hard to pull off. Read full review

I am surprised this movie did not garner more attention. It's not perfect in its narrative space, but the dark beauty of it is more than sufficient to warrant a viewing. Its virtually wordless script demands a great deal of the director/dp. And, they don't disappoint to my mind. Again,I am surprised this movie did not garner more attention.
