Great Movie! Grim atmosphere!

While keeping its european school slow pace to give audience time to chew it during the movie, it really reveals itself afterwards. Nicely complicated, multi-layered and filosofical, while keeping its intense and a bit disturbing atmosphere. Great acting from the leads, cinematography, music, no complaints.
A lot to think about afterwards. Opposite to plain simple Hollywood (trash) horror.

I just finished watching it, and I loved it. I know there has been some debate about the time period of the film, and the use of cement, but I feel that it added to the creepiness of the film. This film was beautifully done.
