Problematic father figures and a pill-pushing doctor lead a Danish man into darkness in Isabella Eklof's powerful drama echoing with colonial conflict.
Jan is on the run from himself and his traumas after being sexually abused by his father. Now he lives with his family in Nuuk, Greenland, where he works as a nurse and does his best to assimilate into the local community. However, his past catches up with him through a letter from his now dying father, plunging him into a downward spiral of drugs and extramarital affairs. Emil Johnsen is captivating in the lead role, portraying Jan as both boyishly fragile and deeply unsettling. Haunted by his own father figure he's reflecting Denmark's paternalistic relationship with Greenland and its population. Isabella Eklof follows up her acclaimed debut (Holiday, GFF 2018) with a courageous exploration of human darkness, based on Kim Leine's autobiography, solidifying her position as one of our most exciting Nordic directors.

比利时导演Phillippe Van Leeuw的第二部作品,出生于1950年代的他并不是一位年轻的电影工作者,此前担任了相当长一段时间摄影师的工作,与杜蒙等人合作密切。影片在2017年柏林电影节全景单元展映,并获得该单元的观众选择大奖。影片的主题仍旧与黎巴嫩硝烟四起的战争有关,但导演并没有刻画交战双方的正面冲突,而是另辟蹊径,在密闭空间中观察时局的残酷。整个故事在贝鲁特一处居民区中展开,摄影机始终没有离开过女主角Oum Yazan的公寓,在这里躲避战争的一大家子人继续着他们胆战心惊的日常生活,而他们做出的每一个决定,都可能关乎生死。《囚禁》是一部很有想法的作品,节奏、编剧、摄影、表演都相当出色,隐忍、克制、有力。
