Reviews

“This wonderful film wanders through four countries and speaks seven languages. Whenever the people are silent, nature talks, through nebulous trees, whispering fields, seepage water, snow.”
- Christoph Dieckmann, Die Zeit

“An affectionate approach towards people, who lead their lives in loneliness and abandonment.”
- Fritz Göttler, Süddeutsche Zeitung

“Illustrious images of unheard. Carpatia is the document of both a forgotten as well as a perishing world.”
- Anke Westphal, Berliner Zeitung

“In this way one immerses during two hours into a completely different, secluded, quiet, faraway world, from which one would not like to return all that quickly into ours.”
- Kirsten Liese, BR-Online
