CGiii Comment

Erm...definitely different.

Most of it takes place in a bath tub...

Still not sure what the point was in making it...to display a talent for the pretentious?!?

Arty types will like it...more sensible folks will be sound asleep way before the end.

Still...there is creativity.

The(ir) Blurb...

Based around imagined conversations between the director Bergsmark and transgender artist Eli Leven as they sit in a bathtub shaving and caressing each other, the film employs various visual techniques to describe Leven’s inner world and his relation with the world around him. These include scenes of a young boy dressing as a woman and dancing in front of a mirror, or an older, androgynous figure wandering, apparently pointlessly, through a snow-covered landscape. The bathtub scenes are very intimate and tender, with frequent detail shots of skin, mouths, fingers and body hair. The film’s form and visual style are much more provocative than its subject matter, but a subtle sense of humour prevents the film from being perceived as pretentious.
