Day And Night (dag Og Nat)

A Nordic update of Abbas Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry, this film from Simon Staho narrows in on the moral and social issues of suicide by focusing on one man, one day and one car. Filmed entirely within an automobile, this Dogme-like work (produced by Lars Von Trier’s company) follows a man on one day of his life—a day he has decided will be his last. A powerhouse Swedish cast fuels this riveting examination of the traps inherent in living one’s life through possessions rather than people. Mikael Persbrandt gives a career-defining performance.
