The good doctor provides his diagnosis: "Miserable as I am, I want the pain to drag on as long as possible. All my patients are the same." This film endures just five minutes over an hour and half. In recompense it offers bits of seasonal color: paper chains, rosy cherubic children's cheeks, and a thin Christmas tree. But each detail makes its price felt: ten, twenty, thirty, forty. It is hard to enjoy one's macaroon while counting each potential cavity.
Any feminist feelings for Nora must contend with her adorable squirrel impression. It may be easy for some to dismiss her casual forgery. But her damning of the useless law that cares nothing for motives must still ring in our ears: "A daughter isn't allowed to spare her dying father? A wife isn't allowed to save her husband?"
