The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.
Faced with the delicate balancing act of underscoring extremely serious subject matter in an absurdist context, longtime composing partners Niklas Schak and Tin Soheili – veterans of Danish television documentaries – take an abstract, almost experimental approach, deploying simple, often brief cues that rely more on ambient harmonies than traditional themes and variations. Piano, strings, percussion all braided delicately into cues that suggest uncertainty, instability and, at inopportune times, danger. The lone noteworthy exception: “The Match Works,” a playful homage to traditional Greek Bouzouki music deployed here for the sake of pointed irony.
