City of Tigers

About This Movie

City of Tigers offers a somber yet poignant exploration of hunger and artistic struggle, blending Hamsun's themes with the stark realities of the Covid pandemic. Set against Oslo's bleak winter backdrop in 2021, it captures the isolation and desperation that echoes through the ages. The pacing feels deliberately slow, allowing the audience to fully absorb the protagonist's torment and the oppressive atmosphere that surrounds them. Performances are raw, almost haunting – they resonate with a deep sense of pain and yearning. The film’s practical effects, capturing the biting cold of Oslo, further ground the narrative in a palpable reality, making it stand apart from typical adaptations. It’s a rather interesting take on how timeless themes can reflect contemporary issues.
