bright but cold

What impressed me the most about the whole movie was the use of light.
A strange, bright, fair, uniform white light quietly fills the screen. Whether it is the snow during the day or the classroom at night, it is the same white light. No sound, no temperature. Feeling cold.
Although it was so bright, it was still bone-chilling cold.
It's like talking about the relationship between people in a movie. Although wearing the cloak of "love", it doesn't feel warm at all. Despite their promises to each other, they did not feel hopeful at all. Although they are together, they are not happy at all.
No matter what happens, I always feel very sad. Across the door, the two of them stamped their fingers on the cold glass.
Only the Nordics can make such a cool and quiet, yet inexplicably bright film. Probably because it is always snowing, people's xinxing has also become like this?
The rhythm and tone are distinctive. A movie with a good grasp of the story.
The only regret is that the actor Eli is not beautiful enough... Some of the plots are too obscure.
Hmm...but it's still the best movie I've seen recently.
