Summary: 5 Stars
Based on the novel by Herbjørg Wassmoole, Ole Bornedal directed the drama I Am Dina. In Northern Norway during the 1860s, a little girl named Dina accidentally causes her mother's death. Overcome with grief, her father (Bjørn Floberg) refuses to raise her, leaving her in the care of the household servants. Dina grows up wild and unmanageable, with her only friend being the stable boy, Tomas (Hans Matheson)and finding in the cello her only silent partner. She summons her mother's ghost and develops a strange fascination with death as well as a fervent passion for living, as well as an indomitable character.
Family friend Jacob (Gérard Depardieu) encourages Dina's father to hire Lorch (Søren Sætter-Lassen), a tutor who introduces her to the cello. When Dina is old enough (played by Maria Bonnevie), she marries Jacob and moves to Reinsnes, a port he runs with his mother, Karen (Wenche Foss), and his stepsons Niels (Mads Mikkelsen) and Anders (Jørgen Langhelle). Niels doesn't like Dina's wild ways, or the fact that she has taken over accounting duties at Reinsnes. Dina's eccentric tendencies become even stronger, eventually leading Jacob into an accident of his own and bringing Tomas back into her life.
Potent and remarkable film, that deserves from you special attention due the marvelous script, stunning artistic direction and towering performances of all the cast. One may feel the undeniable visual narrative of Ingmar Bergman. But just for watching the enraptured performance of Maria Bonnevie would be by itself motive to watch this fabulous film that somehow was overlooked by most audiences and critics all over the world expect in Europe.
Watch it and you will experience a rewarding surprise.
