Danish cinematography has developed its oustanding
reputation by directing some of the most intriguing
dramas based on family relations. Unthinkable plots and developments
between the members of the basic social unit shocked and awed the audiences
worldwide while simultaneously promoting the Scandinavian behavioral norms via
silver screen.
Downside of this is the heaviness of subject itself. And what can be heavier than the story of a child traumatized by the horrible
loss of life? Two brothers (Gustav Fischer Kjerulff and Sebastian Bull
Sarning) have each taken the toll differently, but with same devastating
effects. Drama tends grow even heavier when the next generation is included in the consequences of the tragic
event. Overall atmosphere is pretty grim, but partial happy end tends to
downsize the heavy toll.
„Submarino” is a heavy drama with a big „D” and a brutal
depiction of how much we are(n’t) actually formed by events and actions of our
childhood.
