Odell gives a substantial package

This is a kulturartikel which is a part of Aftonbladet’s opinionsjournalistik.
the DOOR 4 Just at the time late in the year when a hardened film critics begin to feel pure dehydrated of all idéfattiga lagomfilmer will the generous santa Anna Odell with a really substantial package in the bag.
Her new movie X&Y bubble of smart, challenging ideas, and is a veritable skådespelarfest. Odell has enrollerat some of the bravest of the Swedish and Danish elite: Jens Albinus, Vera Vitali, Trine Dyrholm, Shanti Roney, Sofie Gråbøl, Thure Lindhardt – and so Mikael Persbrandt, whose status as ”alfahanne” should be explored together with the image of Anna Odell as ”boundless artist”.
\nthere will be great sense of humor and sticking seriously when toppskådisarna portraying different aspects of the Persbrandts and Odells identities. A frustrated Persbrandt is reduced, sometimes to a driftstyrd klichéman, sometimes to a classic sex symbol, who all want to conquer. Odell fight for his auteur role, for it is permissible for a woman to be a ground-breaking, ingenious, visionary?
Imagine something in the style of a wayward combination of Lars von Trier’s the boss of it all and Suzanne Set the Brothers Mozart. It is entertaining, classy made and, indeed, poignant.
I was so exhilarated that I saw the movie two times in a row. It feels like a gift.
