Mariken Halle first asked around her neighborhood if she might make a school film about one of her neighbors. When that didn’t work, she and her small film crew began addressing people on the streets of Göteborg. How would they imagine a movie that they would want to star in? The results were far from fantastic – she encountered dismissively amused responses and boring, confused ideas. But some of the people she talked to were different. They try getting into their “life role” – and she begins to direct them.... This lighthearted school exercise ends as a disturbing mystery with a Lynch-esque open ending. Halle’s noteworthy graduation film offers a sophisticated contemplation of the ways to transcend the border between documentary reality and fiction. In doing so it makes use of both passersby and professional actors who play passersby. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
