Wildland (2020)
(Kød & blod)
Country: DK
Technical: col 89m
Director: Jeanette Nordahl
Cast: Sandra Guldberg Kampp, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Joachim Fjelstrup
Synopsis:
After her mother's death in a road accident, teenaged Ida is taken in by an aunt and her brood of three ne'er-do-well sons. Welcomed into the bosom of the family, she becomes complicit in their less than legal activities, attracting the attention of the social services and triggering a crisis of loyalty.
Review:
Dissecting the fragile psyche of an adolescent girl, grief-stricken and desperately in need of love and security (quite apart from the customary rites of passage - a potentially lesbian tendency evinces itself), Nordahl's film is nothing if not directed through the gaze of its barely communicative heroine. Few, however, will feel satisfied with its conclusion, which leaves audiences with a double enigma.
