Finale

The all-seeing eye of a hovering camera observes the simple and everyday routines in the hospital chapel where ‘Finale’ is set. Here, the living prepare their clients to be sent out on their final journey. Cannes award winner Marlene Lyngstad is a deeply original filmmaker who has a special ability to pull the rug out from under reality, using simple means – such as a camera set-up that looks like you’re spying on the cast through a hole in the wall – to create new ways of making (and at least watching) films.
