Amour Fou

Frequently capturing the action (or inaction, more often) in static master shots, the director arranges each scene like a richly detailed diorama.

...clearly communicates the danger looming over the horizon for its young hero long before any has reared its head. It illustrates, both bluntly and gently, the stultifying trap of male influence.

...a daring, dark satire strewn with allusions to modern times.  

The characters here interact in an almost trance-like choreography, like dancers in a minuet or figures on a music box.

...filmen hudfletter med underspillet komik menneskets evne til at narre sig selv og tro på den romantiske kærlighed.

Det är en mycket vacker film.
