EIFF: Superposition
A digital detox takes a detour in this twisted Danish doppelganger drama, where a couple head to a luxe cabin in the woods, only to find another version of themselves.
Dir. Karoline Lyngbye / Denmark / 2023 / Danish with English subtitles
A couple and their young son move to a remote cabin in the Danish forest for an experiment in off-grid living, with no human contact for a year. The plan is simple: he will podcast, she will finally write her novel, and together they will reconnect with nature. But in this stylish slice of speculative realism, deep marital fissures and the sudden discovery that they are not alone soon unsettles the couple. When they encounter another family in the forest, identical to themselves in almost every way, the fabric of their identities begins to unravel... Director Karoline Lyngbye’s debut film is shot with a crystalline cinematography, and will delight fans of Nordic noir and thoughtful cinema. How much can you ever know your partner? And how much do you want to know yourself?
Kate Taylor, Programme Director
Karoline Lyngbye will be at the festival to present her film.
