review 5# / vinterbrødre

The writer-director works with situations rather than a plot, crafting an expressive narrative distorted by hallucinatory and neurotic digressions as Emil slowly becomes more alienated and alienating. In one such bout of fantasy invading the harsh world of Winter Brothers, Emil unlocks the great mystery of mankind when he delivers the crucial demand of wanting to be “loved and fucked”, addressing precisely the primeval urge, maybe even being the tremendous enigma of the meaning of life, to fulfil the dualism of the human condition, psychological and physical, that wields damaging, even devastating, power over oneself. - Screen Anarchy
