Could have been so much better!!


White night is a typical social-realistic danish movie. Which means it's depressing. The only thing that made me watch this to the end, was the hope for some sort of happy ending. The movies biggest problem are the un-explained parts of the plot. A woman named Malene is mentioned several times. She died but, who she was, how she died and how Ulrich was involved in her death, is never explained. And that ruins the movie. It's too short. 15 more minutes to explain some things would have made it better.

And I am sick of the eternal klich'e, that rich people are icecold shallow snobs. I happen to know people that are wealthy and none of them are the icecold people that we see in this movie.

It's stated in the film, that Malene was the younger sister of Ulrich. Ulrich dealth with ecstasy in his younger days. He gave one to her sister, when they were partying one night, which ended fatally for his younger sister. That's also why he's so prohibited to help the widow. His quilt only grows bigger as we progress.
