Review
This
short love story has its roots in traditional Scandinavian fairytales,
and Norwegian filmmaker Torill Kove deploys classical symbolism and
narrative techniques to tell the tale of a couple of quirky characters -
a Norwegian maiden and a Danish poet. The animations are old fashioned
and simplistic, giving the film an appropriately archaic feel, and
making this an amusing and fairly effective little tale. Narration from
Liv Ullmann.
