Description
These screenings are with English subtitles
Two 40-ish couples, children in tow, take their annual vacation on the Danish island of Bornholm. Given that the tensions between and among them have already begun to surface on the ferry ride to the island, one senses that what’s to come is not going to be an idyllic summer getaway… Co-writer and director Anna Kazejak makes Maja (Agnieszka Grochowska, who you may remember as Wanda from My Wonderful Wanda two festivals ago) the focus of this decidedly feminist take on the ups and downs of relationships. Grochowska is simply marvellous!
‘A darkly comic holiday psychodrama… Kazejak’s third feature is a classy exercise in social observation, finely crafted and acerbic in tone… Universal themes, witty script and high production values all add up… Visually, the film looks terrific… Kazejak and her cinematographer Jakub Stolecki shoot the island backdrop with a crisp, luminous beauty.’—Stephen Dalton, The Film Verdict
