It's one of the best!, 19 December 2002
9/10
Author: Dust Devil (info@dust-devil.de) from Germany

I've seen a few films like that. For example "Aftermath" from spain etc. But this one - it's finally after 32 years the best one. You hear no sound, no noise, nothing. Your imagination does it for you. The pictures we see are both: beautiful and awful. If you had the chance to see it - take it!!
