Everlasting Moments
Courtesy of Icon Films, you could get a pass for the Golden Globe-nominated Swedish film Everlasting Moments.
Based on a true story, it follows the story of Maria (Maria Heiskanen), who is married to an alcoholic and womanizing dockworker (Mikael Persbrandt). Her husband leaves the worries of family responsibilities entirely to Maria. Her situation is desperate until she meets a camera shop owner (Jesper Christensen) who encourages her to start taking and developing photographs. She soon begins to see the world in new ways that threaten her already perilous situation.

A night photograph of the Guggenheim Museum in Spain; all that titanium illuminated with the river flowing next to it and the outside sculptures showing their shapes and colours against the steely background. It was my first attempt at night photography and it was so good that everyone thought it was a postcard. I was so proud, and to this day can stare at it for hours and still smell the crisp, Bilbao air and hear the music from the bars below as I set up my camera.
