Spring (I) (2014)
This film is an absolute masterpiece
24 September 2023
Spring not only manages to blend different genres - especially horror and romance - but also directorial styles from typically distant worlds.

A mature and conscious work that showcases a well-defined style with a script that tells a deep romantic love story.

The visual elegance of the scenes, a mellow and delightful soundtrack and intrinsic quality material elevate this film above the usual cinematic products.

It evokes a feeling that has something of the sublimity: it is mixed at the same time of attraction and repulsion, of disgust and pleasure, of terror and joy.

Wonderful utopia of love lost in time but also an ancient mystery of inexplicable horror.

A horror that wants to talk about feelings, beautifully told against a fairytale backdrop.

Transcends all genres to deliver a story that feels entirely unique.

The film was highly praised and received enthusiastic reviews.

"Spring is one of the best horror films of this decade. A film that has blown me away." - Guillermo del Toro

"A beautiful and unique love story ... a real accomplishment of genre and tone." - Richard Linklater

"Phenomenal....a hybrid of Richard Linklater & H. P. Lovecraft" - rogerebert.
