5/10
Slow, nightmarish but beautifully bleak

Dawn (Morgenrøde) by Anders Elsrud Hultgren is more a piece of art or hypnotic desert wandering with music.

You will probably not have seen a slower film to date.

Described as a thriller I must say you should expect this from it at all.

Described as a sci-fi I must say you should expect this from it at all... Torstein Bjørklund plays Rahab, a man wandering in a dystopian flatland where water is polluted, discovering someone, an older man, Set, (Ingar Helge Gimle) following him. Probably the first man he has seen for ages.

I can't tell more about what this is about, beacuse it will be a spoiler, though there's not much to spoil either.

The dialog in this movie can be written on a napkin.

Filmed in anamorphic widescreen over a runtime of 70 minutes, this feels even several minutes too long. But when you leave it, you have some kind of piece at mind.

The DVD also contains Q&A from London sci-fi Festival as well as two shorts by the same director.
