THE ANCHORAGE Alt Cinema

Immersing the viewer in magnificent Swedish landscapes, this sober and meditative film reveals the beauty of nature and the beings that co-exist in harmony there: a Rousseau-esque vision of a relationship between a human being and her environment Ullo, the central character, relates in voiceover how ii will be when it snows, but her expectations ore disturbed with the arrival of a hunter, whose flashily colored clothing is out of place amidst nature’s greens and browns . Shot with a minimal crew, CalArts graduate CW Winter and photographer Anders Edstrom’s first fiction feature unobtrusively combines silence and the sounds of nature in contemplative sequences, sometimes adding snatches of songs about local folklore . Ultimately, the film-winner of Locarno’s Golden Leopard for Filmmaker of the Present-serves as on ode to 0 woman whose strength and grace ore in perfect harmony with nature.
