Input: the latest epos from lars is a blast , although a rather moody one .
this lovestory is situated in a small town in the rough dreary cliffs in the vestern part of scotland in the 1970 something .
the church ( calvinistic ) is so strict that the church bells has been removed from the clocktower , they are considered being too unrestrained .
in these surroundings we find the to - be - weds jan and bess , played by stellan skarsgaard and the remarkable new movie actress emily watson .
jan is on leave from the oilrig and bess .
.
is just bess , a bit naive and innocent ( in every aspect of the word ) , at first .
at the wedding party we are told an anecdote , illustrating her infinite kindness , she once lend a bike to an stranger , her best friends bike however .
but bess is suffering in this scary religious society .
we soon take part in a funeral where a man , fallen off the orthodox path , is laid to rest while doomed to hell .
women are not allowed to attend funerals or speak up in the church .
when the end of the honeymoon approaches we see bess idolizing jan in such an intend , almost manic , that her friends try to calm her down a bit .
the time has come when jan is to return to the rig , bess is falling into the darkness of depression , her yelling of grief and sorrow are heard above the breaking of the waves .
she ca n't stand the thought of life without her husband .
we witness her dialogues with god
( she speaks both parts , paranoia ? )
convincing god to return jan from the oilrig , and her prayers are heard .
an accident on the rig bring him back , paralysed from the neck and down .
now he ca n't satisfy her need for physical love , he try to persuade her into finding a lover , with the ulterior motive to make her describe these affairs to him in every detail .
at first she resist , but her love for jan and his assurance that this will make him recover more rapidly make her comply .
imagine what this is doing to the poor girl ?
the story is cleverly divided into eight chapters parted by beautiful pictures made by danish artist per kirkeby , accompanied by music from the era ; procol harum , deep purple , t - rex and others .
the use of hand - held camera and lack of any make - up make the characters solid and help to separate this movie from others in the sentimental genre .
the incredible performance from the actors makes the movie brilliant , though a bit too gloomy for my taste .
i would say that it is in the genre of betty blue ( 37 . 2 le matin ) and bitter moon ( lunes de fiel ) .
emily watson as bess and katrin cartlidge as her best friend dodo deliver outstanding performances , this must be the reason for giving it the " grand prix du jury " in cannes this year
( although we had hoped for the " palme d'or " ) .
the screenplay is now available in print , the transformation being made in the period from ultimo may to july , just in time for the danish premiere .
Output:
P
