Drømmeren

I love Karen Blixen's work and was thrilled to see this, especially filmed at the beautiful family home, but couldn't watch more than a few minutes due to the handheld camera shaking all the time. It's like motion sickness. I know it's a special effect to reflect emotional turbulence etc (but a quick search showed it's not popular with viewers when not completely necessary). Connie Nielsen was perfect for the role and even in the minutes I saw was compelling and didn't need a shaking camera to convey emotion - she's already doing that so well you forget instantly that she's acting. The actors, the scenery, the writing, all gorgeous but I couldn't watch it. Very disappointed.
