Gods Of The Plague is rich with pathos, treating these petty thieves and murderers as tragic figures.

The narrative is random and disposable, which means you'll have to settle for the allure of the film's many women.

RTVague VisagesAug 3, 2023

A complex study of character and mood, Gods of the Plague relies heavily on subtly-crafted and detached scenes to amass larger thematic ideas of isolation, jealousy and love.
