Flutterby™! : Tilsammans

Saw Tilsammans, subtitled as Together, last night with Charlene. A tale with promise that left me feeling kind of flat. A woman leaves an abusive husband with her children for the communal house that her brother lives in, and the story wraps up a bit too tidily. What I found most striking about the film was how much the director and the cinematographer learned during the making of the film; the quality of camera angles and choice of shots improved dramatically as the film wore on. A clue: Get out your camcorder and break off the zoom lever. Your efforts will be instantly dramatically better.
