The Man from London

"It’s a film about looking and listening, with a suggestive minimalist soundtrack and ravishing black-and-white cinematography by German filmmaker Fred Kelemen. Tarr’s slow-as-molasses camera movements and endlessly protracted takes generate a trancelike sense of wonder, giving us time to think and always implying far more than they show." 

"[An] outrageously stylized, conceptually demanding film (...) Tarr’s chilly tour de force is to be understood as art all right" 

"[It] grows agonizingly tedious and repetitive very quickly (...) Made with clear indifference to the viewer (...) 'London' has no possibility of connecting with any but the most tolerant art house habitue." 

"There’s no connection between the exquisite form and the crime-fiction content (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Despite a coherent, economical plotline, this film’s sheer slowness may prove too punishing for many viewers" 

"Unsettling, sometimes absurd, sometimes stunning (...) It really is very strange, and yet in concentrating on Maloin's misery, Tarr has hit on something very pertinent (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Disappointing"
