Nordkraft (aka Angels in Fast Motion) From Ole Christian Madsen

The intense, realistic and unflinching tale of Maria, Allan and Steso, who are struggling for survival in urban life, about drugs
What to say? Well I'm a bit torned with this one. In one side, the acting is great, the story is nice and quite moving. But, there is also something which is a big turn off: it has a lot of influences of Trainspotting, Spun and Requiem for a dream, that is not too much of a problem but the problem is that at time, it starts to get very very similar to Requiem for a dream, way too similar, even the music is almost the same! it makes the film come a bit too close to being a copy. And that's a real shame... But I liked it but maybe simply because I like good junky stories, that might be why
