Norway
A female doctor's son dies, she feels responsible, flees to a remote northern town to re-start, gets involved in a murder mystery investigation, takes on a lover (sort of) and doesn't find peace.
Slow, studied, evenly paced drama feels eventless in spite of all the events listed above. The lead is deeply withdrawn...her personality sets the tone for the film...and the cold snowy landscape amplifies this sense of people frozen in time and place.
Everything here was competently done but I found it unengaging. A novelist would have filled the story with interiority fleshing out the characters...without that element we are reduced to watching people act through a window with no sound reaching our ears.
