Leave your thoughts about Alois Nebel.
| User ReviewPaul DStylistically strong and tonally mysterious. A clever and thought-provoking animated film noir--Astonishing animated art-house drama!! |
| User Reviewdanny lAlois Nebel is definitely visually inspired with excellent black and white animation accompanied with such a good atmosphere to it, but the film is never particularly interesting to watch, the characters are forgettable and the plot isn't the greatest. It is well made, but too boring and specific. |
| User ReviewLuke RA mute stranger appears on a small train station managed by Alois, an introverted man who is run past by time. So begins a beautiful, deeply melancholic but somewhat tedious animation "Alois Nebel," a film with heavy themes of war and the pain of survival. Director Tomás Lunák offers somber tones and quiet moments that convey the emptiness the characters feel keenly. On the other hand the narrative isn't all that dynamic. This is beautiful stuff, but as its strength lies in emotion more than in analysis, one might have expected the presentation to be a bit more potent. |
| User ReviewLuke EThis Czech film has an intriguing premise along with outstanding visuals and animation. It Follows a train dispacher and his affairs with the world and people he meets and deals with during and after WWII; as you can see it follows a noir tradition we could crave. It could of had the potential to be great, but it falls short with its storytelling with very dreary pacing, and incoherrent plotting. Perhaps I wasn't too open while watching this, actually feeling I've lost sense of the plot. I may of misjudged it, but didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. |
| User ReviewTom DUnderstated film, but some really nice rotoscoped animation. |
| User ReviewGreg SA morose Czech train dispatcher is haunted by memories of a German woman who was deported after World War II when he was a boy. In shadowy, noirish black and white animation, this is an interesting-looking picture, but unfortunately it's hampered by a gloomy minimalist plot where almost nothing seems to happen, but the story still manages to confuse. |
| User ReviewPaul NDour monochrome animation of Czech post-WWII pawn past, seen through stationmaster finding love. Drab, if stylish, slog. |
