Spring Uje spring

Storytelling....

Let&apos;s start by getting one thing out of the way; this is no 1/10 (however many films the critic claims to have seen). Film making is all about story telling - and Schyffert/Brandelius certainly do that.

They also venture into a, relatively, new format and at times push the envelope of filmmaking. However... bold and innovative as &quot;Spring Uje, spring&quot; may be - it reaches nowhere near excellence. It&apos;s low budget and makes no apologies for being so. But somehow it feels like it&apos;s a &quot;dead end concept&quot; - one where no amount of further funding would have delivered a home run.

The end result is quaint, at times slow and often borderline childish. But it is reasonable, and certainly innovative, storytelling. If you can get into the format - it delivers beyond your average Hollywood &quot;standard&quot;.

For the cineast it delivers a few novel takes alongside a few more &quot;don&apos;t dos&quot;. Commendable though the approach is; the shortcomings feel superior in number to the good moments. By all means watch, but it may be an acquired taste - and those with such acquisitions are likely find a few flaws.
