Oslo, August 31st

*I remember how tall the trees seemed compared to northern norway. I remember thinking, "I'll remember this."* related and deeply understood most of the characters in this. it’s about anders, and it’s also about his universally strained relationships. it’s such an accurate portrait of living with depression. everyone wants to see you get it together, but everyone’s got their own shit and no one really has time for you while you're trying. it's the detachment you feel in moments alone, listening in on the outside world. it's the underlying hum of dread and anxiety that accompanies your spiralling thoughts. just great direction and sound here, every long take and focus shot, so well done; the fuzzy ambient noise, going in and out, the same way that hope tends to.
