Description

The border crossings in this tender yet disconcerting film aren't limited to passport entry points. There are also cultural, sexual and other transgressive crossings that arise when Swedish border guard Tina (Eva Melander) encounters Vore (Eero Milonoff). In a movie full of surprises, it's her hyper-sharp sense of smell (for fear as well as contraband) that makes her an invaluable border asset, but which Vore's challenging insolence at first confounds. They're of a similar, almost Neanderthal, physical type, so there's much to explore as Tina's dormant emotional life is revived. Above all they share a sense of 'otherness', a quality Vore revels in but which shames the emerging Tina. (S)
