Rose
12A
Set in the late '90s, Rose sees sisters Ellen (Lene Maria Christensen) and Inger (Grabol) take a bus trip to Paris. Inger is schizophrenic, a fact she announces to their fellow passengers – meeting with pity from some and outright discrimination from others. Ellen sees their holiday as a chance for them to bond, and to find out if Inger might be able to live more independently. Inger herself has a hidden agenda for the trip.
Eloquent on the stigmas faced by those with mental illness, Rose is also committed to honesty about the difficulty of living with profound disorders like schizophrenia. There are no easy answers in this subtle, heartfelt, funny and involving drama, which features an excellent, sensitive performance from Grabol in particular.
Screenings will be proceeded by a short introduction from director Niels Arden Oplev.
Details
“Sofie Grabøl delivers a masterclass in acting.”
Far Out
“Gråbøl is superb throughout, recognising Inger as a complicated individual who has a lot more going on than just her illness.”
Eye For Film
“Rose deals with schizophrenia in a way that is completely unique; it will have you on the verge of tears before breaking a sharp moment of contemplative silence with a laugh-out-loud quip.”
