And the one man is not so charming after all
(2020) Charming Men: Part 1- Julie
(In Norwegian with English subtitles)
PSYCHOLOGICAL DRAMA THRILLER.
Edited, cinematography, produced, co-written and directed by Thorkell August Ottarsson directing a somewhat controversial film that deserves discussion. It opens with a sister, Charlotte (Mirjam Sveinbjörg Thorkelsdottir) gone missing, after she leaves the bus to retrieve red Iphone, as viewers able to see on plane sight she left it on a bench as her sister, Julie (Mia Maria Hauge Wadsworth) living with her live-in girlfriend, Trine was attempting to call her. The movie then jumps three months later, and out of nowhere Julie's phone rings, and immediately she thinks it's her sister Charlotte who was calling, but what we get instead is a man's voice, telling her that he found her sister's phone in the forest and that he is willing to give it back to her. Julie prefers him to drop it off at the police station, except that he would rather remain anonymous and give her the phone himself. And by the time he (Magnus Gudmundssonmeets) with her, which is at a trial blazing park, instead of her giving him money, in exchange for returing her sister's phone he manages to convince her to show him her breasts. And before she leaves, he instructs her to not get the police involve as he claims he may have more tips about her sister's disappearance, placing her into a very difficult situation. And as the movie is progressing, we also get to see what both Julie and Charlotte were arguing about, for it has to do when she allowed her sister to come and live with her.
My rating is geared toward it's controversy, the fact that it was obvious from the get go that the disgusting sleaze played by Magnus Gudmundsson found the phone on a bench, and not in some forest as he claims he has done. That he was exploiting Julie's grief to satisfy his gratification, almost in the same manner heartless con men mostly from Nigeria con older ladies looking for love in exchange for their life savings, except that this may be just as bad or much worse. And the ending is just as controversial as the situation itself, as some may interpret it as he got what he deserve, or that Julie had the opportunity to turn the tables on him by making his life a living hell, once she finally discovers who he is and what he does for a living.
