アイ・アム・ディナ 性に憑りつかれた女

Quite the absorbing flick. I wouldn’t necessarily say ‘I Am Dina’ is a special film or anything, but I just really enjoyed the whole vibe of it from beginning to end - almost 2hrs well spent, in my opinion. Maria Bonnevie puts in an excellent lead performance, she is truly this 2002 release’s heartbeat. That’s not to say she’s alone in the good acting stakes, as others add positive showings as well. Bjørn Floberg and Gérard Depardieu impressed me too, as do Mads Mikkelsen and Christopher Eccleston - I was surprised to see the latter appear onscreen, though he is more than solid throughout... iffy Russian accent aside, that is. Overall, in fairness, it's a strong cast. It is very dramatic but I only mean that in the most positive sense. A lot happens but all of it feels like it fits what precedes and what follows. All in all, I would happily revisit this - well worth a watch.
