Review of Blind (2014) by Tor M — 25 Nov 2014
I rearly eager for Norwegian flicks. This must be one of very few the last couple of years. Eskil Vogt, the writer from "Reprise" and "Oslo 31. August" is serving us a mighty full-length debut.
The plot involves a blind writer in her thirties, her husband, a Swedish girl and a pretty creepy dude. It's lovely put together, we get something from all the characters in a fitting way. Humour, some explicity and you are also left with some sort of compassion for all the leads. This is a nice, and important feature for me. The acting is enjoyable, but it looks really nice as well. The lovely lightening and the clean sets. The silence and the texture.
It sort of grinds into you more than it uses twists, it develops like that without leaving the viewer totally confused or over-fed by certainties - another really nice feature if you ask me.
Truly captivating and it combine the strong plot with great touches and visual elegancy.
Probably the best Norwegian film since "Oslo 31. August", but a little step behind it. I think it was slightly a bit too much of everything, making it a bit wide.
8 out of 10 technical aids.
