A kid like no other shares the spotlight with Noomi Rapace in "Lamb".
Be careful, this original reflection on motherhood can confuse or bewitch.
We don't know what the
Lamb
writers smoked
, but it must be strong.
Director Valdimar Johannsson and his co-writer Sjon sign one of the most disturbing films of 2021. This tale discovered in Cannes, takes the viewer to the heart of Iceland to meet Noomi Rapace and the baby that his grieving character found and then adopted .
Ada, the kid really like no other, will make the ovids look with a different eye.
“Seeing the film in public is a pleasure because the reactions of the spectators are tops, confided the actress to
20 minutes
after the projection.
We feel that they are as shocked as me when I discovered the scenario!
»Ada is however cute with her big eyes full of tenderness.
She brings happiness to her parents along with a hell of a lot of hassle.
Motherhood and animal love
"It's a tale for adults," says the actress. A reflection on motherhood and the fusional relationship that we can have with animals. The way these themes are approached is original and that's what attracted me. »Lost in the middle of superb but hostile landscapes, the heroine hardens in front of the world while softening in front of her little one. “It reminded me of my childhood because I grew up on a farm in Iceland,” recalls the Swedish-born actress. Nature here is wild, untamed and incredibly powerful. The film shows that too. "
Almost silent, Noomi Rapace lets his gestures be expressed instead of words in front of the men trying to impose their views on him. She surprises with her wild side, a frail figure carrying an implacable strength. “It was a tough experience,” she admits. The emotions that the film made me stir up were painful even if they did not correspond to what I was able to experience in my life as a woman. I was in total empathy with the character. The director follows her as closely as possible in her rebirth and her determination to protect her child.
Lamb
is not an easy movie.
"You have to get into it and I understand that we can reject it as being too atypical", suggests the actress.
It is from its assumed singularity that comes the charm of this bewitching story which is reminiscent
of François Ozon's
Ricky .
Despite everything, we are happy to see such personal works find their place in the theaters.
