Charlie-152

Bloody boring. What-what!

This movie is a disgrace, with its stupid plot and endless voiceover of quasi-romantic nonsense, and fish, fish,fish. They eat fish, they make love on top of fish, they scream angrily at fish, they talk to it, and the endless panoramas from norwegian fishing vessels!

A spy in the fjords

Ravishing Norwegian photography and the occasional flash of surrealistic sensuality don't make up for an obscure spin round the bases of espionage, loyalty and Cold War fever. Nice fish though.

Worst movie EVER!

Don't even bother trying to understand this awful movie! It's just not worth it! It makes "Hudson Hawk" a masterpiece (!) One thing though, the photography is excellent, but that alone will not rescue the absent plot. Geir Jensen, Vibeke Lokkeberg & Liv Ullmann are all directors well respectable in Norway. That's why norwegian cinema never will be as good as the rest of scandinavia.

Open your mind to this movie and perhaps the Twentieth Century History will burn your soul.

Consider you have never seen a movie before. Consider life is a chaos where your fantasies, your past and your future are mixed together. Your eyes are washed; your mind can be curious again.

Are you finally ready to watch Burnt by Frost ?? Well, now you are the witness of the life of a spy. The betrayal and the masquerades hurt his identity and he vanishes between U.R.S.S, Norway and the rest of the universe. History is made of levels that can comeback at any time, like memories.

Are you subject to an hallucination?? No, but maybe for the first time you have to watch a movie.

And you have to remain humble and thankful for that.
