Svart Lucia

About This Movie

Svart Lucia is an interesting piece that unfolds within the walls of a high school setting, but it’s far from your typical coming-of-age tale. The film navigates themes of desire and youthful obsession, centering around Mikaela's infatuation with her teacher, Göran. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as her erotic novel serves as both a form of expression and a risky game. It’s got this rawness in its performances that really captures that awkward stage of teenage years. The pacing shifts, sometimes lingering on uncomfortable moments, leaving you pondering the implications of such a crush. There’s a low-key intensity that makes it distinctive, with practical effects that mirror the emotional turmoil rather than relying on flashy visuals.
