Dog Days

Seidl's talent for satirical invective is neutralized by his weakness for over-the-top narrative pyrotechnics-this is more warmed-over Quentin Tarantino than Georg Grosz.

A remarkable, deeply disturbing work by a brilliant filmmaker.

Oddly compelling, disturbing -- some might say disturbed -- look at suburban life, Austrian style.

When Seidl uses music, it pumps brightness into his array of colour and people, whether they are moments of despair or joy.
