Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
This is truly a Norwegian classic. There are many people that have seen this film and found it boring. It was made in 1986 and it was the most expensive film ever made. When I first saw this film I was thrilled and very excited. It is by far the best movie I have ever seen. The film is about incest on a small Norwegian island. Vibeke Løkkeberg plays the role as a young woman and she is living a life knowing that her stepfather has given her a child. The child has not been baptized and the narrow-minded society on the island is bullying her. Her stepfather and the priest demands her to marry a rich newcomer and baptize the kid, but she refuses.
If you haven`t seen this "masterpiece" consider yourself lucky. It`s a classic norwegian tragedy, but with Vibeke Løkkebergs unique boredom. Here you can have 25 minutes with a woman standing in front of a boat. to quote Monthy Python: this is a wine for staying away and avoiding.
