Cinematography and film direction
There is realism and understanding of the script in the execution of the work by the Director Ninja Thyberg. The audience is told the story from an observer’s point of view and the use of the camera is to focus and frame to the persons within the story and at time capture their emotions, all of which is done with no opinion. This method enables the audience to understand the emotional stance of Bella without being pulled away from life or, even more, life’s drag of her conditions.
The film does not rely on extravagant imagery nor. The lack of imagery is a technique in and of itself. The film takes its time with the character. It allows moments of h of silence, of contemplation, of discomfort to happen organically and without any guiding touch or interference.
The pioneering effort by Sofia Kappel, as evidenced by her portayal of Bella, has evoked a great deal of positive feedback for her performance’s emotional range and her watchful sensitivity to the character, the archetype of which she seems to embody. It’s as if she is Bella. It is Kappel’s performance, more than anything else, that renders the entire film’s emotional landscape and propels its narrative forward.
Critical reception.
Pleasure was universally praised for its narrative ingenuity and emotional depth at various film festivals. Reviews noted the film’s decision not to romanticize the themes it engaged as well as its empathy and direction, particularly the lead performance.
Many critics rightly observed that the film’s primary emphasis is the psychology of a young woman constructing a new self within a challenging context of a new woman’s life.
Pleasure certainly is a thoughtful and well-conceived film about self-definition, emotional growth, and most of all, ambition.
The film is anything but exploitative, puritanical, or judgmental, as it attempts to sketch the contours of a young woman who is attempting to find her voices in a society that at her very best
would require her to be performing and unerring in every single performance.
It also is a film which in exploring the tension that goes between the ideal self Bella wishes to become and the self she is, goes beyond a single industrial concern, and addresses the about the act of growing up. It is a reflection on the deal of making choices, as well as which life direction choices are most worth pursuing.
For grown-up viewers with a taste for intricate narratives, Pleasure is a conversation-provoking film that addresses the matter of identity with fervent and sincere compassion.
