I am Faroese and was an extra in this film. As "Barbara" is something of a national treasure in the Faroes, I am of course a little biased. I will say that Nils Malmros did a formidable job and there´s no faulting his research and story telling (Malmros is a doctor as well as a film maker and he did a tenure at the National Hospital in Thorshavn so he could make the research for this film). I like the film a lot, but must point out a couple of weak points: Namely the two male love interests, Lars Simonsen´s Hr. Poul and Peter Reichardt´s Andreas Heyde. They are both weak characters and it´s not believeable that a woman like Barbara (brilliantly played by Anneke von der Lippe) should fall for either of them. The film is very faithful to the book and the scenery is breathtaking, but the key players lets the film down. 7 stars out of 10.
