Cheek to Cheek

About This Movie

Cheek to Cheek is a peculiar little gem that dives into the world of a faded dragshow performer, Ragnar Rönn, who's grappling with his own irrelevance. The film has this gritty, almost melancholic atmosphere that mirrors Ragnar's lonely existence and his increasingly bitter demeanor. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection and the exploration of themes like isolation and the search for connection. The performances are raw, and Ragnar’s interactions with Margaretha, the funeral entrepreneur, bring a unique blend of humor and sadness to the table. There’s a certain charm in its imperfections, making it stand out in the landscape of 90s drama. It’s not flashy, but there's something distinctly human about it that sticks with you.
