Malmkrog (2020)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
It takes patience and dedication to watch this production, as it is a long and pretentious movie. However, it will all be worth it if you can pass the first attention test right at the beginning of 'Malmkrog'. It's not an easy film, if you like discussions about existentialism, God, truth, subjectivity and understanding more about the human mind, it's an excellent recommendation. The narrative addresses several themes based on the text "Three Dialogues" by the Russian theologian and philosopher of the Belle Époque Solov'ëv. Perhaps the script would work better as a play, as the extremely slow pace makes it difficult to pay attention, even if you are completely focused. Beautiful cinematography, editing, a very well-prepared cast, 'Malmkrog' has the potential to become a cult movie over the years.

Sieranevada
With drama and humor, the movie seems to not point towards a very defined place, but as you watch, we realize that this is precisely the goal of the story. It's not a feature film about defined things, but rather about daily dramas and deep tales. Watch with time - after all, it's 173 minutes, almost 3 hours long - and patience, but it is certainly a rewarding and captivating experience.
