往事如烟 (2012)

Two brothers in their 40s are found dead in the forest. By their side lies a woman, very weak, but still alive. "All that matters is past" is the story of how Janne meets William after many years of separation. She leaves her family to live with him in a cabin by the river. They recreate the feeling of love and lust that they had as children, being sweethearts playing in the woods. But one day a Chinese baby girl is found floating down the river, and they realize that they are being haunted by Williams brother. William and Janne runs further into the woods, trying to escape from their nemesis. “她是杀人犯？还是受害者？曾经的她仅仅是个小女孩儿。“女人喜欢弟弟，但迫于哥哥的威胁，是个受害者；女人和回归的弟弟在哥哥眼皮底下过起诗意的自然生活，挑逗哥哥的极限，女人又是一个杀人犯？可惜“本是同根生，相煎何太急?“，为一个女人值不值得？在城里钢筋水泥的森林里人老是向往原生态的绿色、田原生活，这个可是真真原生态了，没把人虐死。把三角恋拍成长片的后果就是每一秒都很沉闷，倒叙和插叙结合的叙事顺序导致故事情节支离破碎。所以，尽管导演在有些情节放大了尺度，还是难以挽回又是部玩插叙倒叙意识流的自娱自乐电影。所谓大尺度无非是产婴特写罢了，情色意味绝无。三角恋靠几个闪回镜头实在是说服力不足。残酷的北欧文艺片，细节上的大尺度让人难以直视，这样一个宿命般的三角恋悲剧故事，就像有时候有些事情天注定，你不知道最终是谁的错，也许对于当事人这根本没什么悲喜之分，只是生活。倒叙和插叙的方法谈不上好与坏，对于凸显宿命的无力感倒是很有用，化戾气为无可奈何，怨命。★★★一个纠缠了二十几年的三角恋故事，结尾用泥土和树叶封口，起初用河流和麦浪相爱。一贯的北欧电影冷色调，剧情也黑色，看着看着就想到霍兰德。海报很赞，一方面体现了环境一方面又同时象征了分解和新生。
