KRISANA (FALLEN)
Director Fred Kelemen
........................................................................................................................................

“Out of light and shadow, voices and sounds, a fascinating world enfolds, which shows us the hero’s  inner desperation with a burning intensity. Through the masterful simplicity and clarity of the story, the sparse beauty of the images, full of contrast and breathing time, which give the characters a dignity and a humanity, and through the artistic purity, which reminds us of Bresson‘s works, or Bergman’s early works, the inner drama of protagonists of this bold film about guilt and forgiveness, which leaves everything fashionable and ordinary far behind, is transformed into hope and perhaps even salvation.
With KRISANA (FALLEN), Fred Kelemen has enriched his work ,which stands alone in the German cinema landscape, with a further cinematographic masterpiece.”

Erika Richter, Neues Deutschland, 2004, September 25
