Stockholm is a tight, theatrical-style piece that plays with a simple plot and a dual perspective.
The film starts with a stereotypical scenario where a guy tries to pick up a girl at a bar, and from there, the story follows two abstractly named protagonists – He and She.
The two begin several long and intriguing conversations which hook the viewer into expecting something more sinister. Shot mostly between the glistening streets of Madrid at night, and the confines of a nightclub and an apartment, the film hovers between a simple one-night stand and a deeper mystery. It explores the perils of sudden infatuation, while investigating surface appearances, personality and reality as they are seen in the chiaroscuro of the night and the bright light of morning.
Rodrigo Sorogoyen’s crowdfunded feature film won multiple awards at the 2013 Malaga festival and achieved minor cult status in Spain.
The screening will take place at St James Cavalier tomorrow at 7pm. Tickets are available on www.kreattivita.org.
