Nordkraft

A stunningly bleak film. Some of the camera work is beautifully shot and highly original. It is so engaging that one almost needs to re watch the film, as so much more impact can be gained from subsequent viewings.

The tale is harrowing but very moving and thought provoking and all of the characters are complex and interesting.

Stunning debuts from an up to now unknown cast.

The film definitely has elements of trainspotting, but lacks a good deal of the humour.

I have not read the book, which by all accounts the film only portrays the final third of.
