Sjelens speil (2015)
Soul's Mirror
Soul's Mirror is ambitious and certainly holds no punches back. You enter an icy concrete jungle where any weakness can mean your doom. That underbelly is portrayed with a surprising authenticity through Frode Graadahl's vision as well as the performances he is able to draw from his actors. Asmund Brede Eike is brooding yet explosive playing Alex like a dynamite with a slow-burning fuse. Mette Holt's appearance as the negotiator is a welcome sophistication among the cast of hard- looking mobsters. However, it's Driton Llapi as Tony who always keeps you guessing. The stone-faced gangster can be your best friend or break you... depending on where you fit into his own schemes. Even when he's smiling you still feel a volatile edge and anything might happen. With all that in mind, you get a grisly outcome once everyone's agendas are revealed and collide.
