Audience Comments on MERKUR:
I love the music. The visuals were like a video game.
I was impressed by the imagination of this film. It’s a fascinating film to watch.
My impression of this film is it’s about the imagry of light versus dark. Where everyone is running away from the dark and the unknown. Then one person faces the dark and finds salvation and everyone else embraces that.
