Do NOT watch this movie when you're looking for something that allows you to "sit back and relax". It's not exactly fast (but, that's not a bad thing in this case!!!) and, if you're used to the action-adventure type movie and are more engaged by action than by other elements of a movie, this may not be your cup of tea.
That said, it is a worthwhile movie to watch. Nanouk Leopold manages to tell a masterful tale and force you to think about death, dying and family relations using her abilities as a director. Little dialogue makes it a film that can easily be enjoyed by Dutch speakers and sub-title readers alike (I suspect, I am bilingual so I can't provide a 100% objective commentary on the experience with subtitles).
This story is really told by the director's unique vision -- if you're able to devote a few brain cells to watching this movie, I would strongly recommend it. It's slow but never seems to drag.
PS the literal translation of wolfsbergen into English is wolf mountains.
