Adaptation
Toikka Jenni
Adaptation examines the moving image and narrative as a tense puzzle. The layers of time conflate in a masterful manner, keeping the story afloat. The functional lines of the architecture, the female actor dressed in red and her double all create a simulacra that gradually opens in various direction.
