Watch Alps Movie Online No Survey Yorgos Lanthimos's follow-up to his Academy Award nominee (and cult sensation) Dogtooth is another darkly comic, absurdist vision of (in)human relationships, focusing on a mysterious underground organization that helps mourners get over their losses by impersonating the deceased. -- (C) Kino Lorber Unrated Release Date Alps Jul 13, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Alps |
The reality it takes place in is heightened just enough to make the concept feel ironic, but then all attempt at genuine sentiment subsequently falls flat. David Jenkins-Time Out
An hour and a half of darkening absurdism. Wesley Morris-Boston Globe
The film takes some deciphering, but once a viewer cracks its code "Alps" opens up into something expansive and rich. Mark Olsen-Los Angeles Times
The movie contains some of the same elements that made [Dogtooth] so startling but they tend to float around rather than coalesce into a singular perspective. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
A film peculiar beyond all understanding, based on a premise that begs belief. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
A strange story. A strange world. And strange characters doing even stranger things. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle
Alps significantly improves (or at least expands) on the surrealist exercises of Yorgos Lanthimos's predecessor, the Oscar-nominated Dogtooth. Though you'd never know it by its rote dumping to home video. John Semley-Slant Magazine
Emphatically weird, watchable and niche. -Scotsman
It's hard to see what, if anything, Lanthimos is saying about modern Greece. And without that clear focus, the film feels a bit off-piste. Miles Fielder-The List
What does it mean? Philip French-Observer [UK]
From the Greek filmmakers behind the acclaimed anti-thriller Dogtooth, this fiendishly inventive drama is just as complex and telling. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
Lanthimos is such a distinctive film-maker and nothing he does is without interest - but this is a misfire. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
The movie's morbidly funny once you get the hang of it, and climaxes deftly, but for too long Lanthimos feels like he's stalling for no especial purpose. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Requires multiple viewings to pick this one apart. Philip Concannon-Little White Lies
Lanthimos delivers another heady dose of weirdness. Loopier than a frog sandwich but rather wonderful. Simon Crook-Empire Magazine
Absurdly amusing (in places), rigorously directed, and more interesting on an intellectual level than an emotional one. Tom Dawson-Total Film
Helps make the case that Lanthimos might be a worthy, more entomological successor to Luis Buñuel. Peter Keough-Boston Phoenix
Lanthimos' vision still compels and challenges, but Alps offers a big idea in place of a better movie. Matt Pais-RedEye
...registers less as a drama than as a filmed scientific experiment. Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
This cinematic experience was weirdly fascinating. Grae Drake-Movies.com
