Magnus (2007)
Kadri Kousaar's "Magnus" comes dangerously close to endorsing the views of its young protagonist
27 May 2008 - 20 out of 26 users found this review helpful.
Kadri Kousaar's first film comes dangerously close to endorsing the views of its young protagonist, who besides being eager to end his own life is also a pretentious jerk.
Delivered into the care of his prostitute-patronizing slacker of a father (played by the real-life father of a suicide), Magnus experiments with drugs, hits on his own sister, and ruminates on his childhood lung disease. Then he gazes upon a swamp for minutes at a time. The philosophical content of this movie is offensively crude.
So far reviewers in Seattle (meaning SIFF) are not impressed. The showing is on June 2.
