International Edition

Lady in the Water, Part II: Self-reflexivity and visual stylisation [4]

Av Dag Sødtholt

A return to this severely under-appreciated film, for its discussion of storytelling, interpretation, film criticism, artificiality, stylisation, interconnectedness – and whether stories can become real.  [4]

Louder Than Bombs: Joachim Trier’s play on perspective

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.

The Village, part I: Motifs and story arc

Av Dag Sødtholt

Before The Visit came M. Night Shyamalan's early masterpiece The Village. Mismarketed and misunderstood as a horror movie, it has gained a following as a mood piece of pastoral beauty, intense emotion and stylised lyricism.

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, plan C: The love of gravity

Av Dag Sødtholt

We are unable to let go of Interstellar...! This third article explores the film as an experience and its music, editing and consistency. And perhaps there are more plans in the film than Plan A and B?

After Earth, Part I: Much better than you think

After Earth, Part I: Much better than you think

Av Dag Sødtholt

With the artistic, commercial and critical success of his two latest films, it is about time to soberly unearth the very real qualities of M. Night Shyamalan's disproportionally maligned middle period.

Unbreakable, Part I: Characters and relationships
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.

Interlinked: Adapting the Cyberpunk World of Blade Runner

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."

Céline Sciamma’s Petite maman: Portals to the past
International Edition

Céline Sciamma’s Petite maman: Portals to the past

Av Dag Sødtholt

Sciamma's fifth feature film is immediately striking in its gentleness as well as emotional and visual beauty, but what lies beneath the apparent simplicity are rich layers of structural echoes and quiet metaphors.

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

Maria by Callas by Volf
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?

Joachim Trier’s Thelma (2017) Part I: What does it all mean?

Joachim Trier’s Thelma (2017) Part I: What does it all mean?

Av Dag Sødtholt

Zeitgeist is replaced by timelessness, chamber music by a symphony. The systematically unpredictable Thelma is Joachim Trier and his team's most sonorous, lyrical and adventurous film.

Unbreakable, Part III: Visual style

Unbreakable, Part III: Visual style

Av Dag Sødtholt

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.

The Sixth Sense, Part III: Motifs and a Funeral
International Edition

International Edition

Unbreakable, Part II: Motifs and colour

Av Dag Sødtholt

The Village, part II: A tapestry of characters

After a general evaluation of this M. Night Shyamalan tour de force, the large cast of characters and their relationships are examined, with a special emphasis on subtext and how that is expressed through mise-en-scène.

Det knuste speilbildet av andres blikk – om idolatri og selvrespekt i Satoshi Kons Perfect Blue

Det knuste speilbildet av andres blikk – om idolatri og selvrespekt i Satoshi Kons Perfect Blue

Av Helga Brekke Mathisen

«Når rollespillet tar overhånd, kan det undertrykke identiteten i en myriade av masker. I en slik fortapelse er man redusert til en ydmyk slave av andres forventninger, et menneskevrak underernært på selvrespekt.»

Omtale

Split: M. Night Shyamalan goes crazy and tender

Av Dag Sødtholt

The new leaner, meaner version of M. Night Shyamalan has made a bizarre but thoroughly gripping film, providing an emotionally deep understanding of why psychological survival mechanisms arise in abuse victims.
