In that respect, 'Reprise' reminded me alot of the 2022 film 'Bergman Island' - that film also stars Anders Danielsen Lie and the themes are very similar (it would make a great double bill).

Terrific direction by Todd Field, this film is from a screenplay Field co wrote based on a short story.

I will re-watch this film at some point to try and focus on the dialogue more than the beautiful photography, which may reveal more.

This film would have been a large inspiration for the likes of Ken Loach, and is possibly one of the very best British films of the 1960s.

It is an art-house folk horror gem and for audiences that prefer linear films with beginnings and endings, this film probably won't cut the mustard.

Very few films convey the horror of events leading up to D Day as well as this film does.

But this film is neither a biopic, nor is it a 'slice of life' film that shows a few days or weeks in the life of someone, as films such as 'Blonde', 'Spencer' or 'Jackie' do so well.

Hard film to rate - at one point I thought 6 out of 10 (some of the acting is stunted and wooden), then at others it felt like an 8 out of 10 (the colours and directing in parts are very interesting).

Much of the first half of the film feels like a European film, (perhaps to keep in tune with the location), as there are long scenes that are dialogue heavy and static cameras with barely any action to speak of; but the film is teaching the viewer about the lead character all the time and it demands...

However, there is so much subtext in the film, that the title could refer to the huge wind turbines that dominate the sky line of the region, and provide a driver to the animosity between the two families in the film.
