'In the Mirror': Film Review
Latvian writer-director Laila Pakalnina has established a uniquely absurdist voice over the last 25 years, switching fluidly between longform dramas, shorts and documentaries. Her latest feature,In the Mirror, is a playful contemporary reboot of the classic Grimm brothers fairy tale Snow White, set in a fitness gym and largely composed of “selfie” shots, with cast members hugging the camera close as they deliver their dialogue straight into the lens.
