Me: Fancy going to a flick tonight.
Him: OK
Me: There’s the film festival at Flagey; how about “Reprise�
Him: What’s it about?
Me: “Since their childhood, Eric and Phillip wanted to become writers. Their ambition grew through their adoration of the remarkable Norwegian writer Sten Egil Dahl. And one day, each one of them decides to send a story to an editor. Only Phillip’s story is accepted and published. But the sudden media attention he gets and his psychotic obsession of his girlfriend Kari push him beyond the bearable limits. He ends up in a psychiatric clinicâ€
Him: Very Nordic.
Me: Mmm. There’s more – “The narrative style of Joachim Trier .. reminds one of Christoffer Boe (Reconstruction), without the science fiction. It gives a vibrant atmosphere to the movie, with flashbacks succeeding one another really quickly. You won’t end up on the wrong trail, because the clear emotional story, the catchy soundtrack, the adequate graphics and the intelligent montage, make Reprise one of the most remarkable first long feature of last yearâ€.
Him: Adequate graphics eh?
Me: Silence
