An Absolutely Gorgeous Film
Very cool movie. “The Girl” (2009) should be required viewing for all film and video production students. Each shot is a creative tapestry of composition, light, and shadow. Fredrick Edfeldt’s acting-for-the camera direction is inspired and Blanca Engstrom gives the perfect nuanced and underplayed performance needed to match the pace and tone of his film.

But the real star of this remarkable film is Swiss cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema, who has since been the Director of Photography for “Interstellar” (2014). The film is worth a second watch just to appreciate each carefully composed shot. I’ve never seen anyone do it better, even breaking the 180 rule several times in the service of underscoring the girl’s increasingly disoriented drift from reality.

It is not an entirely original story. There are many of the creepy elements from “Tideland” (2005) and some from “The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane” (1976), but “The Girl” is much more naturalistic and gentle than those two films. It could also be considered a placid “Alice In Wonderland”, subtly off-kilter with Louis Carroll’s illogic replaced by the mundane but equally disturbing logic of the modern adult world.

Then again, what do I know? I’m only a child.

A Wonderful Swedish Film on “growing up”
The girl on the cover of the DVD “The Girl” looks like my conception of an old friend’s description of the way some people are treated, “like a red-headed step-child.” Also the wonderful actress Blanca Engström, who inhabits the flesh of the film’s central focus looks like my daughter’s best kindergarten friend. Except the “Girl” of the film is given very little to smile about, unlike my daughter’s little friend.

The girl’s parents are on a mission to Africa ostensibly for humanitarian reasons but in reality because as the mother states, “I can’t stand living in this cramped little world.” And when, the parents learn that their daughter is too you to join them and her brother, they abandon her to an aunt who can’t even take care and responsibility of herself. The Girl cleverly manages to rid herself of the aunt and her partying friends.

After I’ve watched and love an under-the-radar film like this I try to figure out how I found it and in this case I have very little idea. The cinematographer handled the camera in “Let the Right One In” which I loved, but I doubt that’s how I found this. I’m grateful for Netflix letting me find these obscure films and for having such a vast selection so easily accessible. These are great times for cinephiles.

“The Girl” is a film about the power of silence, of observation, and the wisdom of some people, children included. The girl is wise enough to dispatch her careless aunt, to hide her situation from those adults who mighty impose on her and could disrupt her learning and her ability to discover, for herself, how the world works. The friends her age, she finds, are as thoughtless and cruel as the adults she is subjected to. Yet she pushes on, totally alone at times into the adventure she has helped create, without remorse.

This is the kind of cinema we don’t get from Gollywood. This could have been made into a complete tear-jerker. But it is not, even though I did cry at the end. What a beautiful and insightful movie.
