Director Isabella Eklöf with Victoria Carmen Sonne, Lai Yde and Thijs Römer.
The Danish "Holiday" teaches very mixed feelings.
For its theme, then after #metoo. Because of his unpleasant rape scene.
But it is not surprising that even in Isabella Eklöf, we saw a new Swedish director very talented and courageous.
DRAMA. Isabella Eklöf, Swedish resident in Copenhagen, has already been hailed by films abroad, including Sundance, for his first provocative film. Noting especially for a prolonged rape scene that, by its brutality and realism, hits the world of the most infamous movie, this one Monica Bellucci deteriorated in Gaspar Noés "Irreversible" (2002). A scene that even shocked the bizarre crowd of the festival in Cannes and brought out the living room.
Here, the scene comes as a shock that raises the temperature of the film by several degrees.
We then learned Sascha (Victoria Carmen Sonne). Young, handsome, naïve and very fond of life with the handsome and old gangster Michael (Lai Yde). She lives, feels and sleeps with her gang in a luxury villa in Bodrum, Turkey. It looks a bit like someone who came straight out of the "Paradise Hotel" and entered a gangster world.
When Michael unleashes his girlfriend Sascha, he suddenly reveals his psychopathic side, the one we thought before. He wants to show that he demands total submission because luxury life has a price.
Then everything happens almost as usual – until Sascha starts to flirt with a young fashionable sailor (Thijs Römer) in the port of Bodrum. A dangerous game with fire for both …
The rest of a movie is an unpleasant wait before something terrible happens.
It is difficult to kiss a movie in which no character is sympathetic. Where you do not really understand how Sascha thinks or acts.
It's also a movie that raises thoughts and questions that never really came to fruition when the # metoo movement exploded.
It's also a film that shows that Isabella Eklöf is undoubtedly a talent to watch. Few early films are so upscale, purely formal.
