Film Reviews

"Entrancing. Something between a portrait and a performance doc. Stunning and beyond atmospheric."
—J. Hoberman, Village Voice

"Both a startling and lucid lesson in filming musical performance and a cinephilic marvel...The sensual, velvety, high-contrast black-and-white images capture the exertions and exultations of music-making...Costa's film was born under the virtual gaze of three artistic godfathers with original approaches to filming musical performances—Godard, Chris Marker, and Jean-Marie Straub—and, in the course of this bracing, fascinating feature, he conjures them all."
—Richard Brody, The New Yorker

"A visual and aural delight."
—New York Post

"Captivating. By the end, you feel curiously closer to the performer and her process without having any clue how you got there. It's exhilarating."
—Time Out New York
