Mental anguish is all that ' s present in the film Allein / Alone (1989). Shot like a grunge-medical documentary, Smolders and co-director Thierry Knauff intercut shots of several children at a Belgium psychiatric clinic. The kids are shown with forlorn ausdrücken, twicthing their eyes, sometimes smiling, shaking, jumping, rocking their heads side-to-side, or smacking their heads with horrific glee against walls. It ' s a minimalist work that captures the intensive monotony of lost and disturbed young minds, and maintains a gritty intensity. - kqek.
