Review of Smilla's Sense of Snow (1997) by Jennifer M — 16 Aug 2014
Well this was a little too "mysterious" for me as in I didn't ever have a clear idea of the characters or their motivation. Dry, art-housie and kinda boring despite a great cast, good performances and refreshing location as this takes place in Denmark and Greenland.
I like Julie Ormond and she does a decent job as 'Smilla' a half Inuit woman living in Copenhagen who begins to suspect that the neighbor boy she'd befriended was murdered after his suspicious "fall" from the roof of their apartment building.
She follows the clues all the way back to her native home of Greenland, has an awkward romance with Gabriel Byrne and uncovers a sci-fi-ish conspiracy.8/16/14.
