The Girl with the Needle by
Magnus von Horn
(Denmark, Sweden, Poland, 2024, 115 min)
Motivation:
“The film’s director demonstrates absolute mastery of the form. We award this film for its camerawork, the unusual music, the compelling setting and production design that becomes a character in itself, great performances and dialogues. This film puts into evidence the female situation and the necessity for feminist battle. It also shows us how to remain a person of integrity in devilish surrounding and darkness, emphasized by the black and white images.”
