I really liked this film. "Born-children" presents three stories of children, difficult children, with a desolate and empty Reykjavik in the background. Three stories of children involved in, breathing violence, solitude, rejection, alienation. Three stories which then cross each other, to compare solitude with solitude, in a strenuous research of the individual to fight against their own loneliness and alienation which, before being physical, is internal, psychological. Excellent the choice of the black and white, which enhances the dark and empty atmospheres of the situations. Very good film, successful in picturing characters and their state and recreating atmospheres of universal alienation.
