    A historical fiction for an isolated culture
    There are a lot of different opinions on this movie...

    I enjoyed the movie Barbara thoroughly. It is based upon a novel by Jørgen Franz Jacobsen, published in 1939. The novel itself focuses on character build and a unique love story.

    The main focus of the movie is the Faroese culture and it's relationship to other nations, such as the Danes and the French. I would recommend this movie to those who are historically interested, and it is my experience that people enjoy the movie a lot more if they can understand the languages present (Danish and Faroese, mainly).

    I must warn you. If you are looking for an action-filled Hollywood production, this is NOT your kind of movie. However, if you are looking for a nuanced plot and beautiful scenery... definitely!
