Burning Sun

About This Movie

Burning Sun is an intriguing slice of life that dives deep into the cultural tensions within a reindeer herding community. Májjen's connection to her horn-shaped hat is not just personal; it embodies a clash between tradition and the harsh judgments of external influences, particularly the church. The film has this subtle, almost haunting atmosphere, enhanced by its slow pacing that lets you really absorb the landscape and the characters' struggles. The performances are genuine, giving a raw edge to the conflicts presented. There's an undercurrent of rebellion against conformity, and the practical effects used to depict the hats really add to that uniqueness. It’s the kind of film that lingers with you long after the credits roll, inviting reflection on what we hold dear.
