Troubled Water

Norway Erik Poppe

A great film...one of the best done in recent years. The spark of the story is a child's murder, the theme is how to deal with atonement, forgiveness, reconciliation and redemption.

Brilliantly shot, edited, acted. The music...mostly organ since the protagonist is a church organist...is used to allow for emotional expression. The entire production radiated intelligence and was a serious attempt to examine one of the most vexing intellectual/philosophical dilemmas we can ever face.
