In Winter, as with all great films, teaches you how to watch it. It has it's own pace. It breaks scenes off unexpectedly. It jumps locations and characters unexpectedly. By the end of the movie, it feels right. You have been brought into it's world. Great exploration of character, sexuality, disconnection. Watch it if you love film!
This movie was made for the insomnia. If you start this movie, you will be asleep within 7 minutes. The first 5 mins, all you see as they roll credits is Anikka walking and smoking a cigarette. There is barely any dialogue at first. Eventually it does get a little less dull when she meets a stranger. You can show if a person has a dull life without boring the viewers.
This film is beautifully shot and shows the desolation of winter on the great lakes. Yes, scenes are drawn out, but it feels very deliberate. I think that one of the things that makes this film so powerful is that it is like a glimpse into the protagonist's life, rather than knowing everything about her (like her thoughts and reasoning). Overall, this film is a raw, visceral interpretation of the human experiences of isolation, connection, and sexuality.
It is an awful movie. The acting is terrible and the story is nonexistent. The only reason I watched on was because I lived in Cloquet for 10 years and it was cool to see the locations in Cloquet, Duluth (where I lived for 12 years, and just moved away from), and Superior. The movie isn't worth the time otherwise.
While a "love" story, this isn't a fluffy snowbound weekend meeting In a charming New England village. The back drop is cold winter in Northern Minnesota, the cold that chills to the bone and is symbolic of the frozen souls of the protagonists. Film lovers will see strong influences of Ingmar Bergman in this beautifully shot , superbly acted, haunting story.
