Nekes retreats behind his film What is left is a double portrait in which neither Dore 0 nor the grand landscape remain unchanged The cold of the icy coastline long shots of stones snow and the sea dwindles away before the image of Dore 0 Solitude is superflous when the grandiose mountain meadow invites somersaults In this case Nekes handles what he shows considerately He releases the objects he portrays He allows them to unfold And so model and patterns actually serve another purpose to let poetry grow and energy and beauty and confidence nellabbandono Dietrich Kuhlbrodt Filmkritik 91971
