About the director
I'm afraid we can't find a few comprehensive and accomplished filmmakers like Susanna Bill in the world of film. Whether she is a director, a screenwriter or a role in person, she can always bring us shocks and surprises. Although Susanna Bill has a wide range of fields, she is a subject-conscious person after all. Since her debut, her style has been extremely avant-garde. She dares to face social issues and express the demands of ordinary people. The works after "Brothers" have matured in deepening her thematic awareness. This year's new work "Efter brylluppet" still continues her past style and care, and what draws us to ponder is society, ethics, spirit, morality and care, etc. Big problem. She always insisted on telling us: Life is short, everyone should walk the path of life in mutual understanding.
In terms of the visual effects of the film, the director used a lot of close-up shots for both the environmental background and the characters, which can deepen the character and characteristics of the characters. At the same time, he made a special and strict portrayal of the actor's eyes. Requirement, this is also a model of her unique grasp of delicate parts.
This is a film that is deep in revealing and presenting the themes of difficult choices. The subject matter seems to fall into a stalemate easily, that is, boring sentimentality and clichés. However, the simplicity of the film's script, the ability of the director, and the perfect performance of the actors finally made this film that reflects the theme of family ethics stand out, and the audience received rave reviews after the show.
