I Miss Sonia Henie

About This Movie

I Miss Sonia Henie is a curious experiment in filmmaking, stitched together by Buck Henry and eight young directors. The concept is simple yet intriguing – one attic, one hotel room, and a single line to unite them all: 'I miss Sonja Henie.' What unfolds is this peculiar tapestry of seven short sketches that blend comedy and drama in a Dadaistic manner. Each segment, clocking in under three minutes, showcases a distinct tone while reflecting on nostalgia, loss, and oddball humor. You get a sense of spontaneity in the performances, with a mixture of earnestness and absurdity. The confined setting adds a claustrophobic charm, letting each director's voice shine through in an almost playful yet reflective way. It's a film that invites you to ponder its quirks more than just to watch.
