"... the director Martin Mutschler devotes himself in a team together with Madis Luik, who is responsible for the significant contribution of the medium film in this work, Thilo Ulrich ... and Dennis Peschke ... to an approach to the subject of death.
This approach takes place on three extremely sensitively coordinated levels: First, through the performance of the Ensemble rheinbarock ... with excerpts from Dieterich Buxtehude's Membra Jesu Nostri Sanctissimi Patientis. ...
The second level is a quasi-documentary film with interviews of cancer patients of the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Kiel as well as inserted sequences of a computer tomograph (CT) circling in eternity like in a Kubrick film. ...

"Madis Luik's installative, multimedia narrative work "Linn: Viljandi" / "City: Viljandi" (2014) about the city of his childhood in Estonia combines three formal levels: Photographs of street scenes and architecture that bear witness to historical-political change, texts about his personal thoughts about the city, and the documentary video "Elmo", in which he talks to Elmo Riig, a well-known local journalist"
"Although all parts are representative representations of the place, nevertheless, it is only with their union that a comprehensible narrative level is reached." - Photo Gallery Vienna, 2016
