Agnès Varda in a box: Inhabiting TOUT(e) VARDA

The Cinema and the Gallery – When worlds collide?

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.

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

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

"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."

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.
