The Girl with the Needle / Pigen Med Nålen | Official trailer #2

My partner watches a lot of movies, and fully embraces the Athena’s shield theory of art. My partner doesn’t watch trailers or look into movies before watching them; they didn’t know what this was before they watched it. Honestly, my partner has seen more movies than I know exist, and are an enormous fan of what I somewhat disparagingly refer to as pigeon movies: reflections on genocide as seen through the eyes of a pigeon. You know the kind: usually musicless explorations of the absolute worst of human behavior and history, shot without professional actors, directed by someone who has never made a movie before, premiered at Cannes to such and such awards, so on. If you know, you know, etc.

This movie was too much for them though. They had nightmares, and were shaken for days afterwards. It’s the only time this has happened to them.
