Beyond the Hills
Directed by: Cristian Mungiu
Cast: Cosmina Stratan, Cristina Flutur, Doru Ana
Running Time: 2 hrs 30 mins
Rating: Nr
Release Date: March 15, 2013 (Chicago)
Plot: A nun (Stratan) reunites with her friend (Flutur) from a past orphanage, and invites her to stay at the convent, with troublesome results.
Who’S It For? With its pacing and subject matter, this is for people ready for some lengthy cold European drama.
Overall
Beyond the Hills is an emotionally frost-bitten movie of hushed voices and the constant visual of seeing the back of someone’s head, (even though they’re talking) which is a thoughtful cocktail that makes for a compelling image in the beginning. But, this all eventually becomes incredibly starchy as the movie refuses to pick up its pace. Even the performances, which chime better toward the third act when they are put to more constructive purposes, become tired as characters hardly evolve.
