A kind of white noise weighs heavy over this film, which is revealingly titled "Heavy Eyes": Digital rain overshadows the (formerly) analogue film material. These wild proliferations of images seem to have been scribbled or scratched, and spots spread across them like sores taking over human bodies, and corroding faces: This is a cinema of abstraction and Neo-Expressionism. – Stefan Grissemann
