4 of 10. Outside of studying it for how government propaganda works in film, I see no point to this film. In an attempt to cover its trail, unlike religious propaganda, it doesn't hold back on sex and other societal no-nos. In this film, it all has that poseur feeling.

Some will comment on its complexity, but it's not that complex. It tries to be just as it tries to shock and awe. Unless you have no other way to see fast clips of Internet porn that no one would want to watch other than with drunk/high friends to laugh at, having someone narrate how to interpret it is far from intricate or original art.

I'm sure there are better stories for getting inside a blind person's head. If not, either out of disgust or inspiration, more should pop and from different cultures. Wait for them. Maybe one will have a blind person riding a bike.

What happens when a blind woman is left alone throughout the day & the only thing accompanying her are her dreams/fantasy/inner monologue, whatever you'd like to call it.Well, I got to see this Norwegian indie film today & to say it's a decent film would be an understatement.

I really like how the director manages to blur the lines between what's real & what's going on in Ingrid's mind. I'm a sucker for the scenes in which a character or the location change in a fraction of a second, just like the scene in Memento where Sammy Jankis is replaced by Leonard.

As far as I understand, the major ongoing theme in this film seems to be loneliness & other themes follow as a result/consequence of it.

However, I don't get the over the top nudity in this film. What's the point of it? Of course I understand that since she's blind, she wants to make the most use of the senses she has got left. Still, somewhere along the line I felt it was a bit too much & unnecessary in some places. Particularly the the porn sequence (which could've been cut short & less vulgar) & the scene where she strips naked & leans against the window.

In conclusion, this film is worth a watch.

so you know there are some films that make you want to make an account just to write a review; this is one of them.. also i just couldn't bare the norwegian propaganda guy. I've seen some positives review here as well, but they were too long and i didn't want to read them so i'll keep it short as well

*the cinematography is good, especially in the begging of the film; I especially liked the first few scene's camera position and angles *in some places the use of sound is outstanding, which has to be a requirement for a blind person movie *the main actress is hot *The "dream sequences" are nice, I am a fan of surreal movies, and this hits the mark despite stating too plainly what is going on

the main negative i can think of is that protagonist is not a really good writer, though it kinda makes the film more believable

so i\d recommend it
