20/48
I loved this film, it made me immediately immerse in it as a whole experience , because of the unusual form of documentary it is (partly self-biographical and biographical)
Scenario
In the Norwegian wilderness, a family seeks a wild free existence but a tragic turn of events shatters their isolation, compelling them to adapt to the demands of contemporary society..
The freedom from dogmatic styles of documentary is in it self a reflection of the free personalities in this story
The main character (narrator) has undoubtedly a lot of artistic sense and integrity, so forceful, that it was possible for the instructor to extrapolate the wholeness and the details of this film from the source that was already there.
The norwegian and the british mutual underplayed sense of humor goes beautifully and convincingly well together in this existential questioning of life choices and values
It is a true art the way this film is able to be light and dark, life-affirming and sad, humble and humbling, personal and yet so universal.
My absolute biggest recommendations
It is a fantastic portrait of childhood and the human personal growth that keeps unfolding, how we learn and how we belong to something.
