Content trumps form. If it weren't for one shot, this movie and the story it tells would probably have no value, definitely one star. After watching it for more than 10 minutes, I felt that the camera was shaking and dizzy. In the middle, I wondered if the director didn't know how to edit at all, so I was lazy and made a gimmick.

There is absolutely no need for such a realistic approach to the story, presumably this is just a personal experiment. Suddenly I felt like watching the film like a guinea pig... Hehe.

The reason I got a Samsung was because of the actors and the camera.

Not being NG for more than 130 minutes is a great test for the actors (but it is difficult to say what delicate and profound acting skills are required for this film... The lines do not need to be too precise, the meaning is similar, and the improvisation will not deviate in meaning).

The hardest part was the cameraman who followed the filming. He wanted to know how hard it was for him to hide in the car during the driving scene.

Victoria quotes

  • Victoria: I've been... I've been... I don't know the name, how you say that... I've been... in the conservatory, you know... I was in the conservatory. and I cannot continue in the conservatory because I'm not good enough, or something like that

    Sonne: Because they're stupid, or what?

    Victoria: No, it's okay. I prefer that.

    Sonne: No, really... Because it's amazing. It's like. You know, I...

    Victoria: No, it's not amazing... I don't know. I've been sixteen and a half years practicing playing the piano. every day, like seven hours every day. Seven is the maximum. You cannot play more, because you're gonna hurt your arms. And it's a really hard life, because you have no... you have no life. You have no friends. Well, the friends are like the other guys that are in the conservatory... but they are not your friends really. They're like your enemies. Because they are fighting for your dream too.

    Sonne: But was it your dream... to play?

    Victoria: Not any more.No. Because it's... You are... You... You can became a bad... I don't know. I was just thinking, for my friends, they should fail in their exams... because then I would have, like, more opportunities for me! Our teacher said to us that. just the 90% of us, we are wasting our time. It's really difficult to become a real piano player. And it's better like this. You know, when I was 12, I can remember, I was like an old lady... just playing always the fucking piano.

  • Sonne: What is this shit? What is this shit? Boxer, what is this shit, man?
