...than it's apparently gotten here, or on YouTube for that matter. "Ødeland" is one of those tasty little surprises you run across online now and again, and wonder why it's languishing in relative obscurity. A student film, humble budget, pretty much unknowns across the board, and yet transcending its limitations with a simple, thoughtful script, and direction that allows the actors to shine. Said script sports a flaw or two, but they're minor and can be rationalized without too much difficulty. Highly recommended.

A film about parenthood. Or survive. An isle, a father, his daughter, the hospital for antibiothics, a deaf boy and an episode reminding "A Hero of our Time" by Mikhail Lermontov. A surprising postapocalyptic film because it is different by what you expect or imagine. And because it gives not the so familiar horror but an interesting portrait of ordinary realities in a new light. A beautiful film. For the courage to propose a fresh voice and a smart - delicate - bitter story.
