Orca is Latin The term killer whale, which is a herd animal that does not feel comfortable if isolated. In other words, a brilliant reference and title that sums up the conflict in Josephine Bornebusch’s relationship drama about how social distancing affects us. Yes, were it not for the fact that the aforementioned sentence is pronounced in capital letters, and that way drains ingenuity.
The sin. It was much more fun to make this connection yourself.
But otherwise, it is a fun, reasonable, and engaging consideration of the fears and shortcomings of the neurotic middle class. It’s every day, but it’s not normal. Many witty little details, both in dialogue and props.
Josephine Bornebusch The star is still on the rise. And just so. She’s a person from the Renaissance who has constantly managed to connect with that nerve that we can call human existence. But she does so with a light hand. This time with screenwriter Gunnar Jarvstad.
Here we meet a group of people of different ages who, for some unknown reason, are forced to isolate themselves in their homes, and thus communicate only on screen. Yes, of course Covid-19 is the inspiration, but in reality, young people also stay at home, so they don’t come off the rooftop. It is about friendship and love and their imperfection.
Director and Screenwriter Bornebusch has been highly praised for two versions of the Love Me series. It is very much honored. Season 1 was clean, with completely non-coercive natural action giving the illusion more stability. It felt like a work that came straight from the author’s heart, while the second work seemed to come directly from the brain of a playwright who had been summoned.
There is nothing wrong with that, but it gives a more grounded story where the characters behave like people do in the cinema rather than behaving like people. The ending is unfortunate in the harmony that has been pasted. Bornebusch appears to be weak on happy endings, so here too, but a dark (1) annoying streak might remain as subsequent words roll.
Finds admittingly Feeling to sit back and watch Love Me’s trash bits, but in this case they are very well assembled. Partly technically, it should be a real horse job to bring the individual scenes together without friction, thanks in part to the star group that only plays on screen, but still has a totally comfortable presence.
Orca is like the TV series In Focus, or If You Like: A play in which the audience sits on the lap of the actors. He still lives.
If you like the movie mainly for the medium’s ability to draw vast imaginary worlds, this isn’t a party, but someone who initiates a talented and fun dialogue has arrived at the right place.
