What a brilliant film. It's a genuinely fresh feeling to be drawn in and affected by a film nowadays - with so much stale material on a reviewer's plate, sometimes it's difficult to remember just how good films can be. Ole Bornedal's 2007 Just Another Love Story (Kærlighed på film) is an impeccably mounted neo-noir, using typical genre tropes to tell an immediate and effective story. It's a mix of genres that at first almost dares you to expect the film and filmmaker to let you down. But it never does. It never ceases to impress in telling an intricately plotted and perfectly crafted story with its potently talented director, cast and crew. The performances are stellar, the cinematography is gorgeous, the soundtrack is just right and the editing takes daring risks with symbolism that pay off in the end.
