Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Brilliant and touching
Best movie ever!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is truly a Norwegian classic. There are many people that have seen this film and found it boring. It was made in 1986 and it was the most expensive film ever made. When I first saw this film I was thrilled and very excited. It is by far the best movie I have ever seen. The film is about incest on a small Norwegian island. Vibeke Løkkeberg plays the role as a young woman and she is living a life knowing that her stepfather has given her a child. The child has not been baptized and the narrow-minded society on the island is bullying her. Her stepfather and the priest demands her to marry a rich newcomer and baptize the kid, but she refuses.
If you haven`t seen this "masterpiece" consider yourself lucky. It`s a classic norwegian tragedy, but with Vibeke Løkkebergs unique boredom. Here you can have 25 minutes with a woman standing in front of a boat. to quote Monthy Python: this is a wine for staying away and avoiding.
