Since we're on the Nord illusion train again, I just wanted to say that Linus and Zoey from Epilogen made me completely imagine Alex and Sofi.

That would be amazing, honestly! And we already know what they would look like in that kitchen environment!

I want Aliette Opheim as Alice(?!) her or Moa Gammel would be perfect.

Black Crab (2022)

Black Crab is a different kind of apocalyptic film - and not only because its wastelands are icy rather than dusty and rusty. This makes it refreshing. It doesn’t quite reach the emotional depth it wants to but you won’t mind thanks to the many dangers along the way.

Years into a war in Europe, “the enemy” is about to win. Caroline Edh (Noomi Rapace) is selected for a mission that could end the conflict. To complete operation "Black Crab" she and other soldiers must skate across the winter ice surrounding Sweden and deliver a package deep behind enemy lines. With the location of her long-lost daughter as an incentive, there’s nothing Caroline won’t do to accomplish her goal.

Though it isn’t quite set in a world so ravaged by war that civilization has completely collapsed, things are bleak. The non-soldiers we see are hungry and desperate for news of their loved ones. There aren't bands of scavengers roaming the countryside, but only because the fighting hasn’t stopped. The government is gone but some high-up generals are keeping the battle going. There are rumors of what distant armies are doing, but everyone is running on fumes so it could be nothing more than hearsay. The large expanses of ice traversed by Caroline and her team - which includes Forsberg (Aliette Opheim), Malik (Dar Salim), Karimi (Ardalan Esmaili), and Lieutenant Nylund (Jakob Oftebro) - is beautiful, but lifeless. You know a bit of sunlight and warmth would bring all the green back, but spring seems impossibly far. Once they put on the skates, you realize just how dangerous this assignment is. There’s the cold, and the fact that they’re out in the open - easy targets for any enemy. Worse is the thin ice they’re on. One bullet, one wrong move and you’re diving into that frigid water below. With the inherent paranoia of a critical but desperate mission and a world prepared to do anything to survive, you’ve got plenty of reasons to sweat.

Director Adam Berg wisely dispenses with unnecessary details. We know hardly anything about the war. We know the conflict hasn’t spread outside of Europe, and that it's gone on for long. That’s it. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter because we’re not following generals or politicians. We’re following individuals who’ve been forced into becoming soldiers. We don’t really care which side wins. We care about Caroline reuniting with her daughter. Unfortunately, this is where the film misses its mark a bit. While there are many flashbacks or dreams of Caroline and Vanja (Stella Marcimain Klintberg) together, you don’t love Vanja the way Caroline does. All of the mission's dangers are lessened. Not by too much, thanks to a strong performance by Noomi Rapace, but something's missing.

Black Crab adequately illustrates that “War is Hell”, the setting offers something new to this type of story, and there are plenty of inherent thrills to keep you invested. It wants to be more emotional than it is but (and I feel like I’ve been saying this a lot) since you’re watching this at home “for free”, you won’t mind. Even if I had paid to see Black Crab, I would’ve been satisfied. (Original Swedish with English Subtitles, March 22, 2022)

Day 4: Favourite Sigyn faceclaim/fancast

So last night I finished watching an Icelandic show (I’m trying to learn the language) called “Katla” and in it there’s a character called Gunhild. I looked up who the actor is and her name is Aliette Opheim who kinda looks like how I imagine Sigyn.

This is her:

Black Crab (2022)

My rating: 6/10

Wow, this movie about a terrible war full of atrocities and a deadly virus, set in present-day/near-future Europe, was exactly what I needed to forget about Current Events(TM) for a moment. Thanks, Netflix!

Anyway, this is pretty good, though a stone cold bummer throughout. Some striking visuals, and the premise, while fairly simple, is not a bad one. Still, the timing on this...

People I want Edvin to work with

Again

Pernilla August: She's a legend and I love all their scenes together. I would love for them to play against eachother again in a story were their relationship is more of a main part of the story. Give me a complex relationship drama.

Alexandra Rapaport: She and Edvin have such a amazing on screen chemistry and know eachother so well. I would love to see a different dynamic between them or just a different setting compared to Gåsmamman. Maybe a healtier relationship.

Joel Lutsow: For the same reason. Their relationship in Gåsmamman was my fave and their relationship off screen is equally special to me. I just want them together on screen again. I can't see them play anything but brothers though.

Gustav Lindh: They barely interacted in Älska mig but I would love to see them work together. They are both great.

Josephine Bornebush: A pure genuius.

Malte Gårdinger: I would actually love for them to play friends.

Alicia Vikander: I mean come on.

Bill Skarsgård: They didn't really play against eachother, they played the same character. But yes give me them in the same movie.

For the first time

Alba August: I could see them play siblings. It would be cool. I love Alba.

Aliette Opheim: She scared me shitless in Knutby and she's an amazing acress.

Simon J Berger: Also an amazing actor with so much charisma.

Alexander Abdallah: We all want this. I know we do.

Louis Hofmann: Look Dark is my favourite show ever. Give me them together.

Lucas Lyngaard Tønnessen: Danish Swedish collab please.

Tarjei Sandvik Moe: Add Norway to the mix (Only if he shaves)

Gizem Kling Erdogan: Please! She's amazing.

Wilma Lidén: They were so young when they played against eachother and I want them to interact on screen again.

I probably forgot at least ten but these came to my mind just now.

Califfato

E’ la storia di cinque donne, legate da un unico filo conduttore, ossia l’Islam, ma inteso nella parte più radicale, quella che di ogni religione fa solo il male del mondo. E’ un thriller con dei poliziotti che inseguono la risoluzione e dove un intreccio di fondo crea la giusta suspense nei vari episodi che si susseguono. L’amore e l’amicizia sono valori trattati e che emergono in Kalifat, come…
