Hinterland

If only the story of “Hinterland” felt as engrossing and alive as its setting.

The results are indeed praiseworthy, but in this CGI-savvy age, it's debatable whether their surface fascination adds a deeper understanding of the Great War's trauma.

This is a gut-wrenching look at the depressing and vicious ramifications of war.

The FX gives us an idea of how Perg sees the world, and Ruzowitsky has created a cinematic cross between Sin City and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. It’s astounding work, and I applaud him for pushing the digital envelope in such a smart and innovative way.
