SUFFERING FOR YOUR ART
Today's movie was
This is a Norwegian film about two authors, young, who have lives that intertwine.
It covers all the bases of artistic angst and then some. Mental illness comes into it.
I am not too sure about these guys but I did like the stuff around them.
If you like to watch movies this is a pretty good film to watch. Very interesting visually and edited in a kind of spastic way. Sound is used creatively. Most directors forget sound as a medium of expression.
It is a bit upsetting and hard to figure at times but I like that in a film. I am a bit masochistic that way.
Ebert was not enthralled nor was my watching partner. But I liked it quite a bit.
I would be interested in seeing the director's next film to see how he works up to the game. He is clearly a player.
I would say a 3 out of Netflix5.
