Violent (2014)
Beautiful but grim (spoilers)

This movie is well worth seeing. It has beautiful photography and original story telling. A lot of the photography seems to be influenced by the photo-based art of Vancouver artists Roy Arden, Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace and others. It is the type of movie that is difficult but engrossing. I would watch it a second time to get a bit more out of it.It not your typical Hollywood fare. The movie is a series of flashbacks the main character has as she is dying. She recalls the people in her life who loved her. I wonder if these are typical Norwegians? Is Norwegian cinema always this depressing? And depressing it is! It's best to have your psychologist or AA sponsor near. Don't go see it on your own on a rainy autumn day in Vancouver.
