7/10
when the nerd...
9 December 2021
Becomes a nerdiest nerd of nerds, a slowdriven mysterythriller made in a forgotten genre, that only a few, especially swedish filmakers have been good at over the past deceniums since its golden age back in the 60's and 1970's. A man that goes wholeheartedly into shadowland clandestine stuff, with the risk of loosing his own life.

Its a plot that demands the viewer to be imaginative and some kinda superstitious and sub-urban in its mindset, you as the spy are given clues, but is it just bait?? The makers of this movie has done the task of stashing loads of old electronic and mechanical devices very well, giving a real feel on the timestamp. Story goes very deep into the matter, so it doesnt matter if you dont understand everything, because it is there forever and free to watch over and over again, as long as a copy excists.

The use of light and shadow and a good hand on the focus puller combined with a nervewrecking kind of brass blowers independent blow at the horn, along with pretty intense and meticoulus acting by the small cast make this low budgie pay you back in threefolds if you like the genre.

So the grumpy old man who grew up with such mysteries found a lot of excitement here, a 7 stars outta 10, a recommend.
