aw • rah • nyoosh Festival Reviews Are In!

The Swiss newspaper, Le Temps, included aw • rah • nyoosh in their article, Three Beacons to Illuminate Visions du Réel, as one of their top picks of the festival:

“We have filtered this selection again to reveal three jewels which, blurring the boundaries between documentary and fiction, stand out for their humanity... aw • rah • nyoosh, from Ben Neufeld, takes time to set up; the viewer takes time to understand the contract that the director offers: no rigorous documentary or bouncy reconstruction, the film follows a tangential path.”

— Antoine Duplan, Le Temps

Cinema review site, Film Explorer, ‘gives expression to the incredible variety of movies on offer in Switzerland, charting the passionate work of international film festivals and local arthouse cinemas.’  A highlight from their review of aw • rah • nyoosh:

“[...] There remains a moral complex: the question of the morality of images, the moral of re-presentation. Morality begins there - as one might understand aw • rah • nyoosh - where the logical operation goes wrong, where the story dissects into all its variants in just one image.”

— Lukas Stern, Film Explorer
