CGiii Comment

Should a director expect too much from his audience?

Grandrieux certainly thinks so.

With minimal dialogue and minimal light...this is simply hard work.

Worth the effort?

No...because not much effort went into making this...just a massive dollop of self-indulgence.

The(ir) Blurb...

The story takes place in a country about which we know nothing: a country of snow and dense forests somewhere in the North. A family lives in an isolated house near a lake. Alexi, the brother, is a young man with pure heart. A woodcutter. An ecstatic, prey to epileptic fits, he is entirely opened to the nature that surrounds him. Alexi is terribly close to his younger sister, Hege. Their blind mother, their father and their little brother are the silent witnesses to their overwhelming love. A stranger arrives, a young man barely older that Alexi...
