I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Best movie ever!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
The spoilers will only appear in the last paragraph, though I'm guessing that for some, those wouldn't even count as spoilers. But let's start with the good things. The movie has a really nice cinematography going for it. The main actress tries her best and really puts herself out there for the viewer.Unfortunately the story (more on that on the next/last paragraph) does not hold up to any of that. Though it almost drifts into the erotic film category, it still remains a thriller with a sour taste.Now the spoilers beginning with a comparison. It doesn't flatter the movie, but even Fatal Attraction had more suspense going for it (and that was very straightforward in pointing out the villain and the protagonist). While the main character isn't a good guy here, our woman is behaving as crazy as one can imagine. Which brings up the question, why he wouldn't cut her loose way earlier. If the picture the movie is painting is correct, he should've seen the signs. The dreams and the twist ending give it a little edge. But not enough to really put it in a category that the director would have loved to see it (imho)
While i have to admit that the setting this film has is memorable in a way (a few atmospheric shots of Paris and Prague), and there's Nyqvist, who always manages all his roles in such an authentic manner, but in the end, those are more or less the only upsides this film has.When you watch art-house cinema, you shouldn't expect too much from the characters. In most cases the portraits are supposed to be rather life- like, and in reality some personality types just are more difficult to comprehend, which means not just everyone connects to them on a personal level, and we can only assume the background of a certain behaviour. But in this case, in "Kvinden der drømte om en mand", the main antagonists are just way beyond any reason. What was the female lead thinking? Was she somewhat disturbed? Why did she act the way she did? We're given no reasons nor explanations whatsoever. Was her marriage really that hopeless? No, it really didn't seem this way to me. Although the marriage scenes were a bit bland, we're given no hints of anything extraordinarily ominous or repressing. Neither manages the film to convince us it happened all because of some sort of a "love from the first sight." This seems just so unplausible. So what we are left with but a portrayal of irrational and random behaviour, absolutely horrid female lead role, and a meaningless ending? Not too much, i'm afraid!If you are inclined to watch a cold danish movie on a topic similar to this, just do yourself a favour and get "Prag" instead. Terrific actors and a lot more convincing storyline. Actually, i consider "Prag" one of the best danish movies of all time.
This movie is a great character study that brings you under the skin of the two protagonists. One might have some criticism for the depth or quality of the dialogue, but dialogue is not what this film is about. It is about the emotions and the dreams, the tustles that the protagonists face within their inner selves and with those around them. These are transposed through the visuals rather than the dialogue. While the pace may be slow for some viewers, the crescendo and the climax are perfectly dosed creating a sublimely atmospheric piece of art-house cinema. I strongly recommend this movie to all lovers of true cinema.
Is Lars von Trier hates women, what does this director do? Sadly this is not my line.This tells the story that men just want sex and women a furstrating maniac with no rime or reason. They are no explanation for K desire, but that do not matter. 20 sec into the move you will hate K. She is a person with no feelings and no sense of her job or people. The sex in the film is impossible to buy and her actions are never made clear.The fact that she is a photographer is never put to any use. and oddly enough the camera work is really bad. It out of focus, but not in a good way, in the way of a focus puller wondering what the hell just happened. The lighting looks like it's done by a good ligthguy with 3 monkeys strapet to his back and legs.The classic escalation of nudity is boring. And why is that we a to understand all her feelings with the way she stands in a room, but the director don't think we understand what simple text she gets on her phone, it's has to be pasted all over the place.So to finalise. Men just want sex, women don't know what they want, camera work can't be done by one man and audiences is more clever then a producer.This is about women and sex and after this film you will avoid both, like if you avoid meat after a trip to a slaughter house. Luckily meat rules and after a few weeks you will look at woman again.
