Unbreakable, Part I: Characters and relationships
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.
Lady in the Water, Part II: Self-reflexivity and visual stylisation
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.
Håp (2019)
«Med så store motsetninger og emosjonelle svingninger kan melodramaet og overspillet være farlig lett å ty til, men i Maria Sødahls Håp balanseres alt på en perfekt måte – i manus, regi og ikke minst skuespill.»
Louder Than Bombs: Joachim Trier’s play on perspective
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 Happening, Part III: Do you think it could be plants?
A Shyamalan enthusiast is struggling mightily to come to terms with the conundrum of The Happening, a split identity film that swings wildly between excellence, rampant quirkiness and unchecked hysteria.

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.»
The Village, part I: Motifs and story arc
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.
En samtale med Eskil Vogt – del 1
Vi har snakket med regissør og manusforfatter Eskil Vogt om arbeidet med Blind, årene som registudent på La fémis i Frankrike, møtet med Joachim Trier, filmforståelse, viktige inspirasjonskilder – og mye annet. [2]
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, plan A: Caressing across the galaxies
This is the first of three analytical articles on Christopher Nolan’s science fiction epic Interstellar. A transcendent cinematic work, whose construction and staging hold a plethora of deeply embedded patterns and structures.
Joachim Trier’s Thelma (2017) Part I: What does it all mean?
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.
Askeladden – I Soria Moria slott (2019)
Vi lever i den nasjonalromantiske reproduksjonens tidsalder, og en film som Mikkel Brænne Sandemoses Askeladden – I Soria Moria slott skriver seg rett inn i denne tradisjonen.
Unbreakable, Part II: Motifs and colour
M. Night Shyamalan’s enigmatic superhero thriller is a film where everything seems to be connected to everything else. We look at various motifs and colour codings that move in intricate and sometimes very strange patterns.
Virtuos innfallsestetikk og noir-poesi i Diao Yi’nans The Wild Goose Lake
Film fra sør 2019: Den kinesiske thrilleren The Wild Goose Lake er gjennomvåt av virtuos noir-poesi, og har en nesten umettelig appetitt for filmspråklig utforskning.
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.
After Earth, Part I: Much better than you think
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.
