Thank you!
Yeah, that place definitely has something mysterious about it, no wonder they chose it as the location for that film)
And yes, I have seen Leviathan and a number of other films by the same director, starting with the beautiful The Return, 20 years or so ago.
I don't think I have seen anything aside from Leviathan, but I'll try to check out the rest! Which one is your favourite?
I think I've seen only 3 of his films and 'The Return (2003)' that I first saw at The International Film Festival of Rotterdam ( a yearly festival that I used to frequent, as I studied film in The Netherlands, in the 2000s ) is probably my favorite.
I remember watching the 2017 'Loveless' in cinema too and that one also made quite an impact.
Oh cool! I currently work at an architectural school, and one of our graduates switched from architectural photography to cinematography. One of her films premiered at the film festival in Rotterdam. It's called "DVA" (2022). If you manage to somehow find it, you should check it out, it's really cool! It's quite small, so I don't know if it's out there in public somewhere though...
That's an interesting switch.
My younger sister is an architect, in The Netherlands.
My younger brother is a game developer.
Cool to hear that woman's film premiered at the IFFR.
Small world, right? ;<)

Indeed! 🙌
