Lady in the Water, Part I: A reappraisal [2]

Av Dag Sødtholt

It was one of the most hated films of the 2000s, but with the trauma now at a distance, it is time to appreciate M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water for its very real qualities. [2]

International Edition

Unbreakable, Part I: Characters and relationships

Av Dag Sødtholt

Our in-depth look at M. Night Shyamalan's early films continues with Unbreakable: perhaps the only mainstream Hollywood formalist film, a mass-market movie approached with an unrelenting European art film sensibility.

International Edition

M. Night Shyamalan’s Old: Twelve against time

Av Dag Sødtholt

Although the framing story and twist are surprisingly prosaic, for long stretches of the main body M. Night Shyamalan's Old conjures up a combination of tension, absurdity and chaos that few other films have achieved.

International Edition

The Deep Darkies of the Soul: M. Night Shyamalan organically swings in The Visit

Av Dag Sødtholt

"You have to laugh to keep the deep darkies in a cave." Shyamalan's most audacious film presents a bizarre mix of knowing irony, youthful naivete, mental illness, comedic horror and tonal shifts, yet everything seamlessly works.

The Village, part II: A tapestry of characters

The Village, part II: A tapestry of characters

Desperate connections: An analysis of Anne Sewitsky’s Homesick (2015)

Desperate connections: An analysis of Anne Sewitsky’s Homesick (2015)

Av Dag Sødtholt

"Homesick primarily plays on the unspoken. Dialogues are marked by pauses and silent tensions between characters. Most films increase their pace towards a climax, but in Sewitsky the pauses just grow longer and more pregnant."

Unbreakable, Part III: Visual style

Av Dag Sødtholt

M. Night Shyamalan's visual style consists of a series of recurring formal devices. Watching Unbreakable feels like participating in a ritual where these devices are applied and reapplied, in new variations and combinations.

The Village, part I: Motifs and story arc

Av Dag Sødtholt

Louder Than Bombs: Joachim Trier’s play on perspective

Av Dag Sødtholt

As so often in films, Louder Than Bombs is not a dissertation, but a meditation on its themes and motifs. Seen in isolation, words and deeds may seem unexceptional – it is as a whole that Joachim Trier film takes flight.

International Edition

Maria by Callas by Volf

Av Joakim Parslow

Tom Volf's film Maria by Callas is by no means the first documentary about Maria Callas, by many considered to be the twentieth century’s greatest opera singer. Why, then, make yet another film?
