Very nice (again).
While there are slightly less overt fantasy elements, it's otherwise a very typical Hadzihalilovic. And what it lacks in true fantasy is effortlessly made up for by the atmosphere. The village itself is a kind of surreal place, a bit empty and uncomfortable, but incredibly atmospheric.
The story is basic, but the acting, cinematography, and soundtrack are fantastic. The music could perhaps have been a bit more exciting, but it still fits the atmosphere very well. He's still a very good director; he never disappoints.
4.0* and a extensive review
