Our take

A photographer descends into the abyss of colonial violence in this icy neo-western. A transfixing journey along Patagonia’s barren plains and a reflection on ethics and aesthetics, White on White is an assured, atmospheric period piece which earned Théo Court a Best Director Award in Venice.
