Prey or predator? Is the key here. This story is unsettling on many levels. On the first level it's a therapist falling for a patient. But after seeing the end, you begin to wonder which one was the predator. Has the therapist not being up to this end from the beginning? She kept stating that this inmate was not fit for unsupervised release, but the whole team was against her. "He has behaved so well" "He had made such progress". While she saw (and described to the team) a highly manipulative man who gives exactly the right answer, the answer required to be qualified as elligible for release. She doesn't believe him for a moment. Hence plan B. Lure him to expose him. While all this time we think she falls for him, because of the old "women' attraction to bad guy's".
I think this is brilliant.
And very feministic of Halina and Esther (the writers). Beside being the actual predator, Nicoline is also a hero who sacrifices herself for the sake of potential further victims of this agressive man.
And kudos to Carice and Halina for their policy of not showing breasts. I'm all for nude (a foreigner living for decades in the Netherlands and really loving their Scandinavian guileless relation to the naked body), but then, show men nude too. As it is, it's always women that are denuded, not men. If I see boobs, I want to see penisses. When this doesn't happen, let the boobs go on strike. No penisses? No boobs.
The camera is also spot on. It's on her skin, tracking her as a prey. Superbly done Halina! I wasn't a fan of neither of you two, but I am now.
