"The Birds" is one of my favourite films. When I was out walking today, the following birdsy imagery presented itself to me:

Two very different but good films!

This week I have been watching some films that will compete in different categories at Stockholm Filmfestival (starting next week). At first I saw Heartbeat (les amours imaginaires) a youthful film about two friends falling in distant but overwhelming love with a god-like-looking adonis without much apparent depth or intelligence. The film, framed with an energetic soundtrack and open-minded editing, gives a realistic insight into the power that people who captures our hearts and vanity can possess.

The other film I watched in the beautiful, old Skandia-cinema in Stockholm was Winter´s bone. It won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance this year. The main character, 17 year—old Ree Dolly is carrying the plot forward in the search for her father and for the survival of her family. The actress Jennifer Lawrence´s interpretation of Ree is captivating and gripping from the first instant. The film contains a lot of  gloom and mid-west misery, but is still made with compassion and warmth not at least thanks to the humane Ree Dolly character!

Siri Hustvedt!
