Featured review
I found this relatively obscure movie recently and was was pleasantly surprised. Its a somewhat strange film in that there is little traditional aspects of an ordinary film- the pace is slow and there isn't much of a "climax" so to speak. That said it is still well worth the watch. The film follows two 12 year old Norwegian girls in the 1930s and explores their relationship. It is very touchy and emotional in its simplicity and the soundtrack that accompanies it was perfectly chosen. There is minimal dialogue but the two main actress's do an excellent portraying these young, somewhat lost, girls. One thing that caught me off guard however the amount of underage nudity shown. I know it was filmed in the 1980's in Europe however what is shown onscreen is rather jarring in its explicitness. Both of the main actress's strip fully naked in multiple scenes and their entire anatomy, upper and lower, is shown frontally and in closeup. This may be unnerving for some viewers so just be aware. Overall however the film is excellent and worth viewing.
