odd one from norway
29 July 2021
When a group of actors travels to Norway, to the arctic circle, they experience unexpected changes, physically and emotionally. The whole point of bringing the group there is that "someone" has failed to make a film as promised. He must either quickly make a film, or give back the grant money, which is long spent. So they head to the north, where the sun doesn't set. This one moves REALLY slowly. There are some fun and/or awkward bits. They are amateurs, and decide on their own to update the script. And they also talk about having a mutiny and directing it themselves. This one requires a lot of patience. Because they are mostly outdoors, it's hard to tell when they are performing the play and when they are just talking to each other. But that's probably the intention. Art films. Did i say it moves really slowly? Story by Ellen Einarsen, Petter Halvorsen, Jan Vardoen. And of course, the play the group does is Ibsen's "Lady by the Sea". Directed by Jan Vardoen. Who also is the director in the story.
