Another View 2018 / Gräns / Sweden, Denmark 2018
Reclusive customs officer Tina is gifted with an extraordinary sense of smell. Any passengers trying to smuggle contraband won’t get very far: she can sniff out their fear and anxiety straight off. One day, however, suspicious-looking Vore walks past her and suddenly everything is different. This original variation on the Nordic noir detective genre about love, people, and other creatures won an award at the Cannes IFF 2018.
Reclusive customs officer Tina is gifted with an extraordinary sense of smell. Any passengers trying to smuggle contraband won’t get very far: she can sniff out their fear and anxiety straight off. One day, however, suspicious-looking Vore walks past her and suddenly everything is different. Working with various genres (thriller, romance, fantasy) Abbasi leaves room for the imagination and offers a look at the world of people from the outside in. The question for Tina is whether to stay inside or outside. The filmmaker worked with a short story by John Ajvide Lindqvist, who caught his attention as the author of Let the Right One In. The film was this year’s winner of Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section.
