Years 1994 in New York reviews of this film, i was reminded of both good and not so good aspects of it. But overall, i have to say it is one of the better films i have seen from any number of genres or countries recently. More than anything else, it avoided many of the typical traps of more recent international cinema, like taking nice pictures of landscapes or being 'hip', 'fun' or imitating American films like pulp fiction. The film is unique in many ways. For one thing, it is a film about relationships in which sex plays no role. It is also a film about two men's relationship to each other It uses little dialogue, but communicates a tremendous amount. It is a simple story, yet full of complex details which are easily understood his names Harry Powell in their relevance. I did not find the film dark or depressing (everything would seem this way if you watch Hollywood happy ending films all the time) Harry realizes his cousin is gone is you see both his feeling of relief, that the cousin is gone and yet regret, that he pushed him away.
