Eskil Vogt, one of the screenwriters of "Oslo, August 31", has collaborated with Joachim Trier twice as a screenwriter, and the two of them will be next year. There is also an English film "Louder Than Bombs Louder Than Bombs" coming out soon. Prior to this, this year’s first feature film "Blind Vision", independently directed by Eskil Vogt, jumped out of the dark horse with "modern-minded style, Atwood-style text" and swept many film festivals in Europe and America. , Awards such as the best director, actor, editor and music at the Amanda Awards, Norway; the Label Europa Cinemas at the Berlin Film Festival; the Sundance Film Festival and the Athens International Film Festival Festival’s best screenplay, Copenhagen Film Festival (CPH:PIX) Newcomer of the Year Award, and Istanbul Film Festival’s Golden Tulip. In addition to ten awards, there are five more nominations.

After losing her eyesight, the heroine Ingrid stayed at home for a long time and began to build her life by a pure fantasy. For example, imagine her husband Morten coming home, sitting in a corner, watching her life secretly. For example, Morten chatted with his friend Einar in a café. I imagined myself walking into the street on crutches, struggling with every step. Imagine a husband watching internet porn and dating a single mother Elin after he became a netizen. Suddenly, Elin was also blind. She was pregnant by accident. She was wearing narrow, open and ridiculous clothes. She went to a party to find Morten. Morten was grouping P in the small room. Elin, who was laughed at, suddenly became highly fit with herself. Face off with your husband.

The most revolutionary element of the film is the complete "imaginative freedom" of film language. Compared with Vertov's cinematic eyes and the freedom of the camera, this film can be called a further "cinematic brain". The established framework is broken one by one, and fantasy and reality switch very calmly in a kind of jump.

The audience also couldn't tell whether a certain passage was automatically arranged in the heroine's brain or reality. Of course, this kind of "true and false, false and true" eliminates the need for discussion. The outstanding feature is the fiction in the interlocking fiction. Knowing that it is not true, and everything is presented in a purely real way-the whole film is swaying wonderfully on this dangling balance beam.

The "blind" design is to express the extreme of loneliness and insecurity, the limitation of the body, and the extreme divergence of thinking. The female protagonist is suddenly keen (the film sound and picture mirror language perfectly reflects this), her brain supplement function is quite powerful, the world in the brain is comparable to the matrix-scenes, characters, and dialogues are all slowly changing ,In progress. Thinking is flowing like Proust, unhindered. The camera pans without emotion in the streets, cafes, cinemas, trams and indoors. Her familiar narrations and unreliable narratives, female bodies, erotic displays, and cool soundtracks are intertwined into a disconnected life like ice water.

With the lens, I completely candid the insecurities and fears in my heart, which is a perfect "feeling school" experience. It can be imagined that if this niche plot of the stream of consciousness becomes a feature film that increases the tension of the narrative, its strength will be deafening.
