What happens when a blind woman is left alone throughout the day & the only thing accompanying her are her dreams/fantasy/inner monologue, whatever you'd like to call it.
Well, I got to see this Norwegian indie film today & to say it's a decent film would be an understatement.
I really like how the director manages to blur the lines between what's real & what's going on in Ingrid's mind. I'm a sucker for the scenes in which a character or the location change in a fraction of a second, just like the scene in Memento where Sammy Jankis is replaced by Leonard.
As far as I understand, the major ongoing theme in this film seems to be loneliness & other themes follow as a result/consequence of it.
However, I don't get the over the top nudity in this film. What's the point of it? Of course I understand that since she's blind, she wants to make the most use of the senses she has got left. Still, somewhere along the line I felt it was a bit too much & unnecessary in some places. Particularly the the porn sequence (which could've been cut short & less vulgar) & the scene where she strips naked & leans against the window.
In conclusion, this film is worth a watch.
