Review of Gaute

Gaute (2009)
Its the end of the world, as he knows it.
21 November 2011
Yes. The GAUTE is a short film made by the Walther brothers and it tells a touching story about a young man whose obsession over fish goes over board. The main performance is played out by a young talented Norwegian who clearly adapts the character he's playing with zest and pathos. It is acutely shot in Norwegian landscapes evoking loneliness and sadness. The grey tones in the undercurrents are reliable and sensible, and so one has to trust them to go along for the ride. The musical involvements are small fingerings of piano that makes for an oddity of sensation that starts and stops precisely at the right time. GAUTE gained good critics by its local critics and will remain as one of the signs of promising Norwegian films to come.
