I am Dina

I recently saw a film called I am Dina. The film came out about eight years ago and tells the story of a girl named Dina as she grown up in Norway during the 1860s. The film begins with a strange and horrific accident that causes the death of Dina's mother. As she grows up, she begins speaking to her mothers ghost and develops a strange fascination with death. This fascination and Dina's own wildness makes and breaks many relationships in her life.

This film was very unique and fascinating. It was really refreshing to see this type of period piece, when so many out there tend to be on the romantic and sappy side. It was not only the story that made this film great. The performances draw the viewer in and create a truly fascinating piece. The cast included Maria Bonnevie as Dina, Gerard Depardieu as a family friend and love interest of Dina, Hans Matheson as her only true friend, Mads Mikkelsen as her enemy, and Christopher Eccleston as another love interest.

I would definitely recommend this film. It is definitely a must-see!
