Kærlighed på film (2007)
Modern and never seen before film art.
Honest, moving and pointing at all of us. We have all had the dream of being able to fly without falling down. I was hit in the head by a helicopter.
Hitchcock meets Bergman in an intelligent thriller about an ordinary family man who gets caught up in his dreams and fantasies. A devastating drama.
Bornedal never makes the same film twice. I keep following his work; he is a creative lighthouse in the usually dark and small Scandinavian film arena.
Thankyou.
Vikaren (2007)
Fantastic!
Finally a film, for both children and adults, which takes the kids and their thoughts seriously, with no exception whatsoever. Great storyline, superbly executed. Several climaxes and tear-dripping ending. I have now been able to watch it several times and I keep trying to hold back the tears at the end, where the "lost" son finds his strength through the grief of loosing his mother, now hugging his father with great affection after having stopped the alien's attempt to steal the children's born compassion and empathy for each other.
Ole Bornedal shows new modernistic storytelling in a classical and highly professional level, bringing psychology and uniqueness to his own story. Scandinavian film has been small, very small, until this artist arrived with "Nattevagten/Nightwatch" and he kept on going. Thankyou for bringing and showing a great touch of the professional heart into film-making; finally. Bringing together the European psychology and the American classic storytelling.
I'm happy.
