 Funk-Korrespondenz
„... One great impressing, detailed and felicitous
biographie. Such coherent, the story supporting and pictographic
contrasting assozialtions that catch the viewers interest is very seldom.
On that score Allary chanced something completely new concerning his
filmic direction. Calm and atmospheric camera settings give the film an
imperssionistic timbre and let us experience a dimenson of thoughts and
emotions of a person, which is very difficult to get across to the viewers.“
Josef Nagel
Stuttgarter Nachrichten
„With this portrait Allary succeeded in creating a
wonderfull, committed, human film in which everything that is accepted in
normal life becomes questionable, except for the respect for life. In his
pictures the fassades of our cities of prosperity become fragile and cool:
babylonic towers, with big chaos behind the fassade of order and with much
lonelyness which adorns itself with deadwood and glitter. Scrapyard-Willi
became a film about the cold of our cities and the try enshire oneself a
place to survive, where everything ends.“

"Mathias Allarys documentary fairy tale about
scrapyard-Willi from Düsseldorf mystified the viewers with alive pictures.
A film with new perspectives."
Süddeutsche Zeitung
"Allary compares and buildes contrasts: for example
the shop windows in the pedestrian zone and the scrapyard`s dump, or the
polished skyscraipers in contrast to the silouettes of the factories. The
difference detaches terms like beauty or ugly. In the film ‚scarpyard-Willi‘
you can see something that too often lacks in other german films: the
description of sequences and of the way something is done. “
Michael Althen
Münchner Merkur
„With unintrusive, impressing pictures shows who he
thinks is the more aware and intensive human. By telling the story on many
different levels learns the audience to understand but as well to
critizise our mentality of chucking away everything which only hardly
covers our lonelyness with luxury and consum.“
