This film is one of my favoruites and I watch a lot of indie art house films from worldwide successful directors. The reason I loved it so much is how original it feels. It has been a long time since I watched it but I never forgot about it.
I am surprised that between all Eskil Vogt films, including ones he wrote screenplay only, this one has the lower rating? It should be around 8 at least in my view.
Film is very original, makes you think about it. It is also aesthetically beatiful. The story is interesting. The female actress did a phenomenal job and I think she is a perfect choice for the role.
It is just refreshing to watch something that is beatiful but also not just empty, but sensual and thoughtful in a minimalistic way by all senses.
Since this film, I watched all other Eskil Vogt films including ones he did only writing. He does not disappoint. But given that, this is his first debut and despite being first one, so good, I admire him even more.
I don't like to analyse films in detail or write spoil alerts, but rather talk about the impression it left with me. This is one memorable one between many other films I watched - well rated, award winning ones. I think this film is even underrated. Not every film has to have a complex scenario, lots of actions or too much dialogue. I think this one is better than his 'The worst person in the world' but to my surprise that film made more noise, and got much higher rating. I guess we all review and appreciate different things.
