The film is known as the most expensive work in the history of Nordic cinema. However, just from the scene, it is difficult for people to recognize one point. Of course, perhaps most of the cost went to the heroine "Icelandic diva" Bjork. In fact, with the plot of this film, there is no need to make it into a movie at all. The form of a play or stage play is sufficient. Bjork's acting is really good! It's hard to imagine this being her screen debut. At the same time, the film is also an alternative musical. Whenever the picture is no longer dim yellow, but becomes colorful, it means entering the singing and dancing segment. Unfortunately, it is just a way for the heroine to chat and masturbate. Selma has a noble personality, pure heart and great maternal love. It's just a pity that it was ill-fated. The end of the film is both a tragedy and a comedy, giving people despair and hope.
