Madden

To Madden, the muddy road from the gateway of her family’s farm to the nearby small town seems like a threshold to another world. But in glittery high heels and a sparkling mini dress, she defies obstacles and sets out to cross the dark forest. Malin Ingrid Johansson’s mystical coming-of-age film feels like flipping a light switch in the dark, where a girl’s longing for new horizons is mirrored in bovine gazes shining in the night.
