Drifting Clouds

Are you trying to entertain us or torment us? For the most part, the film carries the disturbing weight of Requiem for a Dream, with strong performances that make us feel like we’re part of the misery. Even though the emotional atmosphere it conveys is a deep, dark gray, the use of color within the scenes is strikingly well executed. While the film primarily stands out for its unsettling nature, the moments of humor it incorporates are presented to the audience in just the right measure. Overall, it was a powerful Scandinavian film that made me feel truly immersed in its world.
