    Great Art House Film
    I've recently watched "Shades of Day" at a private screening and can recommend it to all cineasts out there, especially fans of the film noir genre. This film has style and elegance, and the performance of fresh and talented actors, in particular leading actress Camilla Bergstrom, will certainly stick in your memory.

    Dostoevsky's novella "White Nights", on which this film is based, is transferred to today's Los Angeles in the most interesting and appealing way. Thus, the film gives a deep insight into human nature, it tells about the trials and tribulations of relationships, of friendship and -- Hollywood, maybe also about the modern business world in general.

    I'm curious to see the other parts of the Dostoevsky-L.A. project!
