This review of SOLVENT is another example of why I really do read all of them. Every single review of any of my films. They give me takes and interpretations I would never dream up, like this one. Still, although I wouldn't frame it in terms of generational cohorts, I can see what he means.

Great review of SOLVENT on Gazettely.

"Solvent is a deeply unnerving experience that remains with you, a work whose power comes from its disturbing ideas and its potent, unforgettable imagery of decay."

Ich war wieder mal im Millennium. Ich wollte mir ein österreichisches Kinoerlebnis gönnen.
Es begann mit dem Trailer zum neuen Pizzera und Jaus, endete in einem filmischen Stockholm-Syndrom namens Welcome Home Baby.
Wenn das das Spektrum heimischer Filmkultur ist -- dann halt Andorra.
