Troubled Water

Director Erik Boppe delivers a splendid drama with this tale of redemption full of originality and powerful performances. The story of a young man who tries to start a new life after he served time for killing a young boy. He finds a job at a church playing organ but has yet to come to terms to deal with the past, specially the mother of the death child. Boppe hits all the right notes until the last act where the film loses some of its power. The beautiful cinematography and score effectively enhance the intensity of this powerful drama from Norway. YRCinema's coverage of the San Francisco International Film Festival.
