    A Dud...

    This one is a real dud, technically (sound & camera) and direction/cutting too. Overly long shots that overstay even the mood-setting welcome. Felt like a film-school project designed by a fan of Tarjei Vesaas to convey his poems, but they actually suffer from delivery in this tedious presentation
