louder than bombs (2016). directed by joachim trier.


a tad more philosophical than the previous two films on grief, the story revolves around the death of a wife, mother, war photographer who is survived by her husband and two sons. i like the photography in this film, as it tries to capture the tenderness and longing, for someone who is no longer there, but obviously the person who holds the family together. she's not perfect, she's often away pursuing her passion, and while she feels inadequate as a mother at times, little did she know that her death is worse than her absence. 

but when you are gone, the people who got left behind can't express the void that they are feeling, because we are not there to bear witness to it.
