'My Friend Kills Time' a film by Norwegian filmmaker Jakob Rørvik, recently seen on NOWNESS.
Have you ever thought of escaping the city?
Dropping the rat race and living for the basics?
Rørvik says: “The idea of not being around people and the hustle and bustle of London frightened me. Questioning that fear was my starting point.”
A starting point which surely many Londoners and city dwellers can relate to.
Rørvik has a distict sense for aesthetics which he showcases in collaboration with perfect sound composed by Knut Jonas Sellevold. The images let the audience drift between beautiful imagery and repulsive closeness. That friend who kills time get's quite close, at times. Affirmed by brilliantly produced music by the composer Knut Jonas Sellevold, only rarely it comes to the foreground but when it does it does it with an impact.
Upshot:It raises some questions without forcing an answer and exists very much in his own right. My Friend Kills Time' is a wonderfully repelling piece, worth a watch if you have 10 minutes to spare.
