The Life of a Sailor's Wife
BY
Ann-Sofi Sidén

The wife of a sailor is packing her bag to go to sea herself. The film is shot in the Gothenburg archipelago in Super-8. The Life of a Sailor’s Wife is full of tragicomical, pastiche-like images with lyrical overtones, reminiscent of the fragments of some long forgotten feature film from the beginning of the century.

The dialectical pendulum swing between classical film aesthetics, the reversed plot and the popular music of yesterday combine to produce a sensation of sliding back and forth between the present and the past.
