It is undoubtedly a good film: it looks very beautiful (the images are impressive), the soundtrack is also impressive, a special and oppressive atmosphere is created, the acting is good and the story is simple but well told ( (including the scene with the boss is masterful). I thought I would give the film four stars, but instead of a violent climax (in which the gun plays a role) there is a vague, unsatisfactory ending. That's why I round down to three and a half stars.

'You want more? I call this pathetic', Johnny Rotten once said, in response to the audience's chanted plea.
And so Palmason also seems to almost demonstratively let the camera clatter from his hands in that mine shaft. Still far too abrupt for a dying candle. Or a miner's helmet lamp, in this case.
Because everything was very skilfully prepared - audiovisually, and with the succession of a number of very strong scenes - for a spectacular finale. But the explosion is somewhere three-quarters of the way through.
You could call it an emphatic display of superiority, to turn so many scenes into a separate feat, all contributing to an ever-increasing tension, and then to abandon the whole thing.
Yes, how is this going to end, damn it. Doesn't matter if you've been on the edge of your seat the entire time. Then it was blown back against the backrest, not comfortably.

Very strange movie. I'm not the only one in that, as I read here. But I liked the movie a little less. Visually particularly special with strong characteristic images such as those chalky white faces or the industrial machines that did their work. But at the same time quite bizarre with a minutes-long fight between two naked men.
For me the “huh?” there quite quickly. I didn't have to wait for the credits for that. I still don't know exactly what it was about. A very introverted Emil with ideas that cannot really distinguish between reality and fiction.
The film is not at all happy. How gloomy and dreary, both the environment and the main character. You may find yourself in such a situation. Not that the film fades out, but the film doesn't end, it just continues. And when the credits roll you are left astonished (although the wow feeling was missing for me).
