Eldorado

2018

Documentary, Self: Robert Hunger-Bühler, Caterina Genta

Documentary Drawing inspiration from his personal encounter with the Italian refugee child Giovanna during World War II, Markus Imhoof tells how refugees and migrants are treated today: on the Mediterranean Sea, in Lebanon, in Italy, in Germany and in Switzerland.

	Media	Author	Review
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Imperfect but affecting (...) It’s a fresh perspective that makes its political point with understated anger, though the twin histories of Imhoof’s film aren’t that fluidly integrated"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"[A] powerful look at the brutal lives of Europe's refugees (...) Sombre, unflinching and personal (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"Mixing the personal with the observational, Imhoof delivers an impactful viewing experience."
		Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"[Imhoof] tries to connect a personal, immediate post-war story (...) with the sprawling, chaotic and — in this film, at least — largely faceless refugee crisis (...) Imhoof’s two halves never amplify each other"
