Dépression: chapitre III (Pas une critique!)

Vu sur La Cinétek et OK.

Depression, the film : part.III

For the first half, the film stands out as what is (or at least seemed to be) an excellent depiction of depression. But a good deal of the two later sequences leave a bad taste of padding. Although the truck-driver (a good Niels Arestrup) gets an interesting monologue about marriage and sex that feels surprisingly impartial, it ends on a totally off-topic paedophile note, damaging the whole scene in the process.
The final segment, confirming the hint in the early one that the whole thing is tied to a desire for romantic love, pretty much spoils the subject* but it also is the occasion for an astonishing sex sequence that is both not "sexualized" (very good point) and so weird that you are left wondering what you are seeing... Maybe the way it plays out in the beginning is the expression of something I couldn't decrypt?

Score: 6/10 Too long and damaging its own efforts too often.
Enjoyment: 2/5 ²

*: What is it with films auteurs and their obsession with relating depression to the desire for a man/woman?! It's becoming sickening.

Note to self: never rent a film directly from La Cinétek again.

PS: I have read some things about how "feminist" or "homosexual" this film is and saw nothing like that. On the opposite, this was rather "universal" and the characters could have been male, female and have any sexual preference without it making a difference.
