It has to travel through a pressure release valve to make a sound. This kettle clearly did not have one. See more »

One story in two
28 October 2002 | by (Stockholm, Sweden) – See all my reviews

Clever script, clever acting, especially by the late Katrin Cartlidge. This is about a history murder case. Who did the axe killing? The supposed one or the certainly unsupposed?

There are two parallel plots here, the murder case and the case of those who are examining the case 130 years later. In many (emotional) ways the two plots are really the same. The murder case takes over the souls of the investigators.

You get confused and found out quite many things after leaving the movie house. That's typical for a good thriller.
