Oslo, August 31

Norway

Minimalist-style film which deals with a day in the life of a recovering addict. This is the day he is released from the treatment center and he has to navigate all the temptations that he once succumbed to as a matter of course.

Cold, distancing...he is actively floundering, ambivalent and we are unsure how we feel about this guy and his chances for getting out of the snake pit. We learn early on that he is emotionally blank which has an effect on the way we perceive his interactions with others.

Competent well-done film...not much fun to watch.
