The story is amazing, the cinematography is great, and the deapth of each look really leaves a mark.
The lead actors are really good, and probably norway's best ones. But the thing about norwegian movies is that the dialog seams sooo forced. I don't know if it is just me that is too stricht, but both Kristoffer Joner and Pål Sverre Hagen are such good actors when it comes to body language, facial expression and overrall feeling, that I expect the dialogs to be better. The way the manuscript is written probably shoud take a lot of the blame, and is, in my opinion, what stops a lot of norwegian produced films from being great. On the other hand, all the acting in other forms then spreach leaves me speachless! The looks, the feelings, the body language, the details, the entire mood of the movie is worth admiring.
The love and care that is shown between these caracters breaks my heart, it is delivered in such a delicate, vulnerable way.
Overall I enjoyed the movie, it enlightens a part of history that I really have not given much thought.
