"Aldrig nudda mark" is a pretty film to look at; aesthetically constructed to satisfy our hunger for all that is beautiful. It has got a vintage look that shines through everything from the choice of actors and props to the edit and color correction. But because shooting on actual film is expensive and the budget for this film only 100,000 sek, I'm guessing that it was shot digitally and then made to look like it was shot on super 8 or super 16 film in post.
The score is without a doubt hugely inspired by Argento and his cinematic houseband "Goblin". Especially a few tunes in there that resembles the score from Argento's "Deep Red", as well as the "Suspiria" theme. Not very original, but I love it!
The main storyline evolves around "Petra" (Tove Edfeldt) who has an existentially difficult situation to navigate. If there is a b-plot it is "Elena"s (Nadja Mirmiran) broken relationship whit her previous family. But that whole part of the story feels unnecessary to me. It kind of interrupts the flow of story that we've been subjected to up until that point, only to take us on a side-story that basically begins and ends within the same scene. The film would've been better off without that part of the story, in my opinion.
All in all, it's a good film. And to wrap things up I just want to express how beautiful the climax/resolution was; it almost qualifies as a masterpiece, if you ask me.
Good job! 7/10
