Remind Me to Forget
Wow, Amnesia by Nini Bull Robsahm. What a wild ride! This is the kinda movie that sneaks up on you—like when you find an old photo and suddenly you’re swimming in memories you forgot you had. You know?
The film stars Pia Tjelta, who, as usual, just kills it. She plays the lead with such raw emotion, it’s like she’s sharing a secret just with you. And Tobias Santelmann is there, too, looking all intense and mysterious. Seriously, this pair is like the Felix and Gotlänska salad of Norwegian cinema. Dynamic, complicated, and leaves a lasting impression!
So, picture this: You’re up in the cozy cabin in Norrland, sipping varm choklad, snow piled high outside. It’s peaceful. But what if you couldn’t remember anything about that trip? That’s the crux of Amnesia. The whole atmosphere, the suspense, it just brings you into that world. At one point, I caught myself thinking back to the last time I forgot something important—my keys at the Göteborg central station. Kinda funny in retrospect, less so at the time!
The film explores heavy stuff—identity, guilt, and the haunting nature of memory, or the lack of it. But there were times where I was wondering if it was dragging a bit. You know how a Swedish fika can sometimes stretch on and on? A couple of scenes felt like that.
Not saying it’s perfect. Some twists seemed a tad too convenient. But the energy between the actors? Electric. There’s this moment where everything clicks, and you’re just there, feet firmly planted on the same emotional rollercoaster.
So, should you watch it? Yeah, grab a comfy blanket, brew a strong kopp kaffe, and dive in. It’ll linger in your mind for a while—just don’t forget the popcorn, unlike someone’s pesky key incident.
