Description

Jimmie 2018
1h 31m | Drama | 13 April 2018 (Sweden)
Storyline:Jimmie, four years old, and his father decide to leave Sweden and start a trip to a safer country. Papa and Jimmie take an inflatable boat over the black water, walk along the train tracks and wait for the kindness of strangers to get where they are going: a safe place.User review:When war interrupts their lives, a man and his four-year-old son (Jesper Ganslandt, Hunter Louis Ganslandt) begin a journey as refugees, escaping terror only to face hostile border guards. One of several Swedish movies at the time trying to make its arthouse audiences imagine what war must feel like by having ”regular” Swedes as refugees. Almost lyrical at times, with moments of terror and beauty, but also claustrophobic and exhausting in its stubborn attempt to force emotions without offering any background or context. Father and son Ganslandt do their best.
