A cynical, almost callously realistic, meditation on defeat and what it means to win or lose, and the lingering effects of ideals and politics in war, even after the war has supposedly come to a conclusion. Go to Full Review

8/10
Black Bread is one of SFIFF's more understated films, despite a few fairly grotesque moments. It has some interesting camerawork, solid performances and an intriguing story, all of which make this one worth a watch. Go to Full Review
Sarah Cronin Electric Sheep Mar 8, 2012
While history is important to the narrative, the director cleverly subverts the audience's expectations, slowly revealing a much more nuanced and layered film, with a disturbing mystery at its core. Go to Full Review

It brims with evocative images and half-buried horrors. Go to Full Review
