Once again, a film carried home by Persbrandt.

He just gets better with age.

A rather banal story with plenty of pathos survives on his strength.

It is quite Brando-ish you FEEL him.

The rest -unfortunately- is just rather ignorable predictably hogwash...

If you can buy that the character played by Persbrandt is " a world-famous artist", then maybe you could find this meaningful. I couldn't. Cutting out the music performances would have helped the story considerably. Maybe with other casting and another director it could have worked.

The premises are presented in a very boring way too and the acting is as if everyone are playing themselves. Totally uninteresting. I don't usually abort early on in a movie, but this one is a sleeper.

I was waiting for this movie since I watched (with considerable delay) 'Perfect Sense' and became a Kim Fupz Aakeson's fan for life. Finding the present film has not been an easy task by the way.

It's a very interesting movie, I think that most people will like it and if you are affected by any self destructive tendencies (like myself) or ever felt the pressure of artistic creation, I'm sure that you will appreciate it even more.

It describes in a perfect way the making of thoughts (and of decisions, as my pal Laurukas from Lithuania cleverly states) and builds up believable and interesting characters whose fate you will really care for in the end.

I'm sorry for the music and for the songs which frankly are awful (not to mention Mikael Persbrandt singing performances…) but believe me, they do not affect the overall result.
