Stockholm, My Love

    Stockholm, My Love
    2016

    Synopsis

    Stockholm My Love is a city symphony, a love letter to Stockholm, the fiction debut of director Mark Cousins and the acting debut of musician Neneh Cherry. It follows one woman's footsteps through the streets of her native city, on a journey of recovery from a bad thing that happened to her exactly one year before. It's an exploration of grief, identity and the power of architecture and urbanism to shape lives, and a celebration of the power of walking and looking to make us all feel just a little bit better. With new music by Neneh Cherry, old music by Benny Andersson (of ABBA) and Franz Berwald, and images by Christopher Doyle and Mark Cousins.

      Stockholm, My Love is sure to induce warm feelings in those who share Cousins' love of the city, but that peculiarly urban paradox of distance and intimacy will resonate even with those unfamiliar with Sweden's capital.

      It's more than a little precious, but it's also sincere, touching and astute in its insights into social geography and human nature.

      The mix of fact and fiction is a little confusing, but a strong sense of warm enquiry pulls it through.

      It is a study of grief suppressed and a personality becalmed.

      Occasionally rambling, it’s kept afloat by an eclectic soundtrack and Christopher Doyle’s striking urban lensing.
