Som en flamingo

About This Movie

So, 'Som en flamingo' is this intriguing documentary that really feels like a time capsule of 2020. It's all about filmmaker Lilja Ingolfsdottir's daily existence during the pandemic, captured through this kind of simple yet powerful visual lens. The pacing is gentle, almost meditative, which stands in stark contrast to the chaotic backdrop of the world outside. You get these small, intimate moments—like the mundane and the profound all blended together. There's something raw about the way it's filmed, no flashy effects, just pure life unfolding. The atmosphere it evokes is both isolating and connecting at the same time. It’s definitely distinctive in how it portrays solitude, making it more than just a personal diary but a shared experience of that unique period.
