Northern Stars 2010 / Director: Jesper Ganslandt
The Ape
He is carrying on with the business of the day, but is ready to explode. Or is it that he has already exploded? The audience is at liberty to piece together what is happening, and allowed to do so cleverly that the final moments of the film – in which the title is fully explained – are almost unbearably shocking and moving. This is a difficult, painful film, and hardly for everyone. It left me in a gibbering foetal ball in a corner of the cinema foyer. But in Jesper Ganslandt, Sweden has a new star director.
