Autumn Blood

Beauty and crudeness, soft and hard, good and evil, innocence and corruption, determination and fear, delivered in all aspects of this film. The antithesis is there in both the scenery and the characters' growth.

The cinematography is stunning. The acting is great by everyone, the leading actress being the one standing out.

From a filmmaking point of view, we have such a great idea and the execution was good enough to make it run but neither strong nor poetic enough to make it fly. This failure to launch is the reason I gave it no more than 7 out of 10 stars.

I don't understand why there are so many harsh reviews of this movie. I feel that the people who rated this movie so low are being overly critical and reading too much into the movie. The movie was simplistic and left you wondering what is going to happen next. Isn't that what a thriller is supposed to do? Make you wonder or guess what's happening. I do agree, I didn't understand why there wasn't much dialog but that just adds to the mystic of the atmosphere of the movie. I felt that it was good due to the fact that the actors/actresses barely spoke a word. In which dialog is what we are so use to hearing in movies and surely was expecting to hear from this movie and perhaps that's why it was rated so poorly. The location where this movie was shot was breath taking. I recommend this movie but I also recommend that when you watch it don't expect a lot from it. Just enjoy it for what it is and don't try to make it be more than what it is. Just keep in mind, you will barely hear a spoken word in this movie...

I appreciate the effort by the director, he was really trying to create and make a unique experience in film making, which ultimately failed due to several flaws.

first of, the film captures some of the most beautiful scenery of nature shown in film, very wonderful and breathtaking cinematography.

the acting was also very solid with most involved, especially the lead actress who produced a brilliant performance.

So where did it all go wrong ?

I say the script is at fault here, the character development and backgrounds lacked big time. we really did not have enough background about these people, who are they ? what do they do ? what is the issue with their father and the bad guy ? who are the bad guys ? why are they bad ? too many questions lacked explanations and hence leading to poor definition of characters, ultimately leading to lack of tension and intrigue. I really could not care less what happened to anyone in the film, the villains or bad guys did not scare me enough despite the early rape scene, and the lead heroine or protagonist character failed to make the connection with the viewers, at least with me, enough.

the plot was decent, started out well but eventually turned into another human hunt film which as i mentioned lacked enough tension and intrigue.

one minor note is the unique lack of dialog, the whole film possibly contains around 15 to 20 lines of dialog only, it was unique film making, but could it have been the reason of lack of character definition and development ? in that, is why i believe the actress was superb, as she relied on her talent of body language and face expressions in her acting, and deserves praise.

I got really bored at the end, that i started to fast forward the film to see how it ended. i won't recommend this to anyone, but you might as well give it a try and judge for yourself.

Magnificent and inspiring images, outstanding performances, wonderful music. A story told with few words that features excellent actors and an image heavy style of narration. This is what makes cinema poetic and inflames ones senses and imagination.

The plot about good and evil living all next to each other in the micro cosmos of an untouched Tyrolen mountainside is extraordinary and breathtaking. Thus, although far away from a daily urban life it can be transfered into nearly any community anywhere in the world.

The actors were chosen carefully and met the needs for such an epic movie by 100%.

Definitely worth to see more than once!

This film isn't for everyone but to score it 1 out if 10 is just infantile. These people clearly do not appreciate a well shot, beautifully acted film with such power. Go back to your explosions and car chases.

Ok. That's out if the way. Ha ha.

Really enjoyed this film. Sad and emotional film that you have to keep close attention to so as to not miss the subtle plot points scattered throughout.

Very well cast and acted. Especially by the lead actress. The lack of any real dialogue was very effective......so much so that when someone actually speaks it feels intrusive, it could easily have been zero dialogue at all as the little that is spoken could easily have been taken out and the film would still nice along nicely. The scenes is visually stunning, so beautiful. It really is a contrast to the ugliness that happens to this poor girl.

Highly recommended for those film lovers who have more than one brain cell.
