Victim of Love is definitely a slow burner to a certain degree, though picking up the pace in the last third of the movie, where the story makes sense. Slow burners are not for everyone and mood, tone and feel becomes very important, which this film luckily have a lot of. Great sound design and intriguing music along with some hefty grading using deep colors to create a haunting look. It's definitely a beautiful film in spite of the low budget.
The story is quite weak but try not to look at the film as a "whodunit type film", but more as a character study of a deeply disturbed man going roque, that will create a different perspective on the experience. In fact, I think they should change the pitch all together as it can come off a bit misleading for some viewers.
I must highlight Rudi Køhnke's performance, which is quite stunning. It's not an easy role to pull off, but Køhnke really nails the ambiguity and duality of "Charly" - a very dangerous individual for sure. His fling "Felicia" played by Siff Andersson also did a good job playing a sexy and restless kinda goth chick.
Not a perfect film, but a nice little thriller gem that with the low budget in mind is indeed very acceptable as a debut feature film. Looking forward to seeing what's in store if Isaksen is able to work on the storytelling and given a significant higher budget to work with.
