Daisy (Margarita) Diamond (Diamond). “Born to give pleasure”
—————————————————————————————————

An excellent film from Denmark, produced in 2007 and directed by Simon Staho
which was never shown in Greece. Awarded at the bodil awards, the annual awards of the Danish Film Critics Association for its two outstanding, now famous, leading actresses, the Swedish Noomi Rapace (leading role) and the Danish Trine Dyrholm (second role).
The film was the one that made Noomi Rapace famous, and became the springboard to meet two years later with the role of Lisbeth Salander in the trilogy that began with Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl with the Tattoo), a film with her turn eventually gave her the passport to a remarkable career in Hollywood ever since

Νταίζη (Μαργαρίτα) Ντάιμοντ (Διαμάντι). «Γεννημένη για να δίνει ευχαρίστηση»
————————————————————————————————————————————

Μια εξαιρετική ταινία από την Δανία, παραγωγής 2007 σε σκηνοθεσία Simon Staho
που δεν προβλήθηκε ποτέ στην Ελλάδα. Βραβευμένη στα bodil awards, τα ετήσια βραβεία της Danish Film Critics Association για τις δυο εξαιρετικές,διάσημες πλέον, πρωταγωνίστριες της την σουηδέζα Noomi Rapace (α’ ρόλου) και την δανέζα Trine Dyrholm (β’ρόλου).
Η ταινία ήταν αυτή που έκανε γνωστή την Noomi Rapace, και έγινε το εφαλτήριο για να συναντηθεί δύο χρόνια αργότερα με το ρόλο της Lisbeth Salander στην τριλογία που ξεκίνησε με το Män som hatar kvinnor (Το Κορίτσι με το Τατουάζ), μια ταινία που με την σειρά της εντέλει της έβγαλε το διαβατήριο για μια αξιοπρόσεκτη καριέρα από τότε στο Hollywood

PLOT

Twenty-two-year-old wannabe thesp Anna (Rapace) helps her apparent b.f. (Thure Lindhart) mainline, following which he rapes her.

The camera pulls back to reveal that both are acting, and that this has been an audition which has been interrupted by the cries of Anna’s unwanted infant daughter Daisy (played by eight separate babies), whose screams throughout pic’s first half rep a highly disturbing soundtrack. The treatment of the baby during the first 40 minutes of the film may be too much for some auds to stomach.

Daisy’s crying is shown to be an obstacle to Anna’s professional success. Anna’s father (Bent Mejding) and mother (Anne-Lise Gabold) offer little help; then, they too turn out to be actors at an audition.

It is disconcerting to be pulled into such intense drama only to be repeatedly told that you’ve only been watching an audition. Ultimately, this technique distances the viewer from Anna’s emotions.

Anna talks to Daisy, sometimes lovingly, sometimes angrily. Clearly, Anna is ripe for some kind of breakdown. And then, entirely credibly, she snaps. But this time, it’s not an audition.

Anna enters a guilt-driven spiral of self-humiliation that sees her involved in passive lesbian sex with a toon producer (Trine Dyrholm) and doing porn films. Her only glimmer of hope is her friendship with director Thomas Lund (Christian Tafdrup). But ultimately, pic is unequivocal in its condemnation of human nature.

Rapace delivers a superbly committed perf in a demanding role, the thesp having to expose herself physically and emotionally.

After Anna snaps, however, when she effectively chooses to become a submissive plaything for others’ desires, her hold over the viewer’s emotions slips.

Visually, things are extremely pared-down throughout: Interiors are invariably off-white and full of empty space, emphasizing Anna’s isolation. A Vivaldi violin concerto, used sparingly, offers an effectively clipped-sounding counterpoint to Anna’s emotional turmoil. Clips of Liv Ullmann in Bergman’s “Persona” seem to reference both Anna’s ambitions and her frustrations.
