    Peter Strikland on Ketamine

    Wow, this film just absolutely blew my mind.

    From the opening 2 minutes you're in, like some kind of weird trance, it really does pull you in. Reminds me of Beyond The Black Rainbow with the 70's retro vibe of a Peter Strikland movie.

    I loved every minute and had absolutely no idea what was going to happen next.

    If you're into trippy films that take you to another place then this is right up your street

    Enchanting experience!

    Black Circle is an enchanting experience. A surreal nightmare, full of bizarre images and sounds, that are etched into the mind of the viewer. It's a bit like The Ring meets Invasion of the Body Snatchers, if Dario Argento had directed. It's an unpredictable film, unlike anything you've ever seen in the Swedish language.

    Excellent 100% recommande

    It is original, impactful, close, great. I have adored her, but I do not think she can be well seen by ordinary people that the deepest thing is to see a facebook meme. For the rest, I recommend it, it is really a pleasure to see it.

    Interesting

    Interesting at first but not towards the end. Original story, with some very nice images. A bit arty.

    Lovely filmmaking and story (minus nipples)!

    I like this film! It is full of passion and heart -> the way storytelling should be.

    The story is engaging and interesting: I like the notion of comparing now and then with the help of a hypnosis-record and the way it comments on our lack of harmony and peace in modern society.

    The cinematography is *beautiful* and the framing brilliant. The montages are well put together with just the right amount of irony and the film's soundtrack is like chocolate: well composed and full of feeling.

    Felice Jankell does a great job, (it is a walk in the park for her though), I could do without her nipples in many of the scenes though.

    Overall Black Circle is a joyful and inspiring genre film that also gives you deeper aspects to contemplate.
