Striking, but a bit empty
Savage from from London, England,
10th January, 2008
Like his previous film, 'Reconstruction', Christoffer Boe here tries to play some vaguely Lynch-ian games with what finally turns out to be quite a simple story. A cold and distant pianist finds that the only way to recover the passion which has been slowly leeching out of his playing is to revisit the past he has done everything to bury. The writer-director's way of telling that story is to turn part of central Copenhagen into a Zone (something out of Tarkovsky's 'Stalker', but not invested with anything like the weight of that classic), which doubles as the central character's isolated mind-set. The first half of this film is terrific; the second, in which everything gets explained and tidied away is quite irritating.
