Our premiere impressions of the film “Overtaking”:

These are wonderful surprises in the Panorama section, sensitive to portraits and travel for young alcoholic women, party in isolation on the islands of Orkney, North Ecossa, in the family. After the opening scenes explain how soon they arrive to the mother, and that they are helping the mother of their son, he/she does not occupy the brebis, the film opens in a complex structure. Porté par Soirse Ronan, all juste époustouflante de fébrilité, entre prepetative de repentir et explosions soudaines, the film offers a portrait of a restless, alternative son of evolution in isolation and memories of his relationships, these tendencies to alcohol, etc. pre-treatment.

Thanks to a captivating mise-en-scène that beautifully captures the sensations of this anti-heroine, using blouses, an unstable camera as a double point for the character’s face, realist Nora Fingscheidt we donne à ressentir le lâcher prize et le manc. Drawing also parallels with local legends and vibrations of nature (failures of puissantes of unclear notamentations…), there is a desire for the mastery of her-meme and des elements qui l’entourent, which we invite to a gloomy portrait, dans lequel la Famille et la Transmission also has great importance.
