  • "The 19th century. In the remote Alpine village of Tolzbad, people talk quietly and restrain their movements lest avalanches come and kill them. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions. Johann is a student lusting after his mother. She is an old flame of the mysterious Count Knotkers. Klara is attracted to her father. He lusts after his other daughter. This leads to duels and suicidal plunges galore. Sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences."@en

  • "In the remote Alpine village of Tolzbad at the turn of the century, people talk quietly and restrain their movements lest avalanches come and kill them. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions - shown through the parallel stories of butler studentJohann lusting after his mother (an old flame of the mysteriousCount Knotkers) and Klara's attraction to her father (who lusts after his other daughter), leading to duels and suicidal plunges galore. All this is shot in the style of an early German sound film, complete with intertitles, deliberately crackly soundtrack and 'hand-tinted' colour effects."@en

  • "In a remote Alpine village at the turn of the century, people talk quietly and restrain their movements lest avalanches come and kill. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions, leading to duels and suicidal plunges galore. Shot in color reminiscent of early two-strip Technicolor, this cult film parodies the German mountain films of the 1920s."
  • "Fiction. Conte. "Les habitants de Tolzbad vivent dans la crainte permanente de l'avalanche. Des amours obsessionnelles naitront dans ce climat de prudence excessive."--[allociné.fr]. Avec Kyle McCulloch, Gosia Dobrowolska, Sarah Neville, Paul Cox, Brent Neale, Victor Cowie, Michael O'Sullivan, Katya Gardner, Vince Rimmer, Jackie Burroughs."
  • "Guy Maddin's early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents -adult, child and animal!-must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid, luminescent tints, Careful resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet-something that could only emerge from the singular mind of Maddin."@en
