Beautiful, disturbing, artistic, atmospheric, colorfull & dark, nasty and visually unique.

What a great and different experience!

a-must-see

Caught victim of love during the nightmares masquerade film fest in oct and thought it was great. Beautifuly shot and very well acted. Looking forward to a physical release and a second watch.

During Victim of Love you follow the dark and exiting journey of the film's main character, Charly, played brilliantly by Danish actor Rudi Køhnke. The journey is more psychologically than physical even though some grueling scenes take place. Also, Julian Winding (The Neon Demon, Too Old To Die Young) has delivered a bone-crushing track released as a separate single. It's a low-budget horror-thriller, but beautiful and with a matching thick and crunchy sound design. A better story combined with a bigger budget and the director's sense of visually mind bending scenes could give promise to an even better film in the future.

This beautifully photographed film shows a challenging search for the truth about what happened to Charly's American girlfriend Amy. Primarily, the protagonist battles his hidden side buried deep in his inner universe and psyche. You experience his personal deroute and mental turbulence due to his duality that threatens to tear him apart. During the film he enters a neon-soaked nightmare and unexpected action unfolds in a mix of reality and fantasy. A film that must be seen several times before you decode all the layers involved and completely reach the director Jesper Isaksen's message and many symbolic expressions. The acting performances as well as the scenery and the soundscape/music creates a film that is both dramatic and an artistic film experience. A film where insights into the human psyche and imbalance creates surprises and a strange coherence from start to finish. Excellent - see it several times.

This was a big hot nothing. A guy is searching for his missing girlfriend, centred around Denmark's red light district. Or is he? Because the movie really goes nowhere, slowly. The main character just drinks and takes drugs and wallows around in a drugged paranoia. A woman he meets in a bar (Siff Andersson) befriends him and adds some light. But the conclusion, like the film, is just kind of nothing. A nice looking, often violent and stylised nothing.
