I happened upon this hidden gem while in pursuit of director Magnus Von Horn’s 2024 feature, The Girl with the Needle. At first glance, Von Horn’s two movies are quite different… one is set in the modern world of social media influencing, the other, in the dark days immediately following the end of the first world war. The common thread? Each tells a story from the perspective of a young woman, struggling to survive in difficult circumstances.

After taking a week off to recover from a surgery, I was really happy to be back, and was gratified by the healthy turnup! More Von Horn next week?
