Sinekatalog’s take

Edgar Reitz's prequel to the Heimat series follows a young man in the 1840s Hunsrück who dreams of emigrating to Brazil as famine drives villagers away. Beautiful in black-and-white and colour, it is a long, rich and humane period epic.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
