Stockholm, My Love
Description
Stockholm My Love is a city symphony, a love letter to Stockholm, the fiction debut of director Mark Cousins and the acting debut of musician Neneh Cherry. It follows one woman's footsteps through the streets of her native city, on a journey of recovery from a bad thing that happened to her exactly one year before. It's an exploration of grief, identity and the power of architecture and urbanism to shape lives, and a celebration of the power of walking and looking to make us all feel just a little bit better. With new music by Neneh Cherry, old music by Benny Andersson (of ABBA) and Franz Berwald, and images by Christopher Doyle and Mark Cousins.

Stockholm, My Love is an interesting experiment for Cousins' and Cherry. However, it does a far better job of demonstrating the talents of the latter and highlights the limits of the former.

Filled with beautiful sights and plaintive music that includes Cherry's own compositions this is a melancholy symphony of images and emotions.

Mark Cousins' Stockholm is a contradictory space of both perdition and redemption ... where time does not pass but is layered with memory and experience.

At times, it feels like an upmarket municipal tourist video, shot in the style of Chris Marker or Patrick Keiller. It's a soothing experience, though, and one that certainly highlights the beauty of the city it is showcasing.

Cherry's sultry, resonant voice helps along the otherwise wafty narration, which skirts themes of personal trauma before opening out to broader reflections on both the city and the soul.

Stockholm, My Love is at its best when at its simplest and most conventional.
June 16, 2017
It is a study of grief suppressed and a personality becalmed.

A missed opportunity to present a different view of Sweden.

As ever, Cousins draws on an impressive range of influences, but this feels more accessible than some of his earlier odysseys.
June 12, 2017
There's always a sense of wide-eyed wonder to Mark Cousins's films.

I am usually a fan of Cousins's curious projects, filmed ingeniously on near-zero budgets, but the thin gruel of this film failed to resonate with me.
