Norfolk (2015)
Norfolk isn't Norfolk
Very interesting film.
This isn't made in the way that probably most of the films you've already seen have been, but appears to be very much the film that Martin Radich wanted to make (if you've seen or read any of the interviews about this project). The official plot synopsis is probably quite misleading, however, the 78 minute running time should be the biggest clue that it isn't going as straightforward as the summary would suggest.
There isn't a vast amount of dialogue, which means the majority of the exposition is done through the body language and facial expressions of the actors, who all do this wonderfully. If you are looking to take a film at face value, Norfolk will not work for you as it doesn't appear to have done for the other reviewers.
If you want to unpack what's going on in the film, you need to figure out how what you're seeing feels to you - then it makes sense. This is definitely a refreshing approach to the medium, but certainly not for everyone.
