Norwegian cinema has been enjoying a moment lately, what with Joachim Trier’s crowdpleasing The Worst Person in the World pulling up to Drive My Car in the Oscar race and Kristoffer Borgli’s Sick of Me carving out a rep on the festival circuit. The Hypnosis, Ernst de Geer’s feature debut, sits somewhere between the two of them, fashioning a fitfully funny relationship drama that tilts at some very modern windmills (coaches, gurus, new-tech start-ups, workshops that involve blue-sky thinking) within a framework similar to Kristian Levring’s 2008 Danish drama Fear Me Not, in which a man’s personality changes after he becomes addicted to an experimental drug. The Hypnosis doesn’t quite follow that film’s melodramatic course, but there are similar thoughts raised about the human mind.

Jessica Kiang There are certain moviegoers who can face onscreen murders, maimings and the grisliest of mutilations and scarcely bat an eyelid, but who feel every cell in their body die a little whenever a character is rude in a restaurant. If you happen to suffer from this condition, consider yourself warned about Swedish director Ernst De Geer’s feature debut “The Hypnosis” — a witty, incisive satire on the modern obsession with self-actualization, which is also, to those of us with heightened sensitivity to social awkwardness, 98 masochistic minutes of second-hand squirm. Many’s the film offered up as evidence for Roger Ebert’s often quoted assertion that cinema is “a machine for creating empathy”; fewer are the titles, like this one, that make one question if that’s necessarily a good thing. 

Alissa Simon Film Critic The Swedish Film Institute’s Wild Card funding initiative has been developing new talent since 2018. Designed to provide support for recent film school graduates, it helps them make a low-budget debut feature. Stockholm-born helmer Ernst De Geer was among the first cohort to benefit from this scheme and now his satire “The Hypnosis” will world premiere in Karlovy Vary Film Festival’s Crystal Globe competition. Totem Films is managing world sales. “The Hypnosis” follows young couple André (Herbert Nordrum, “The Worst Person in the World”) and Vera (Asta Kamma August, “The Pact”), partners in business as well as life, as they pitch their mobile app about women’s reproductive health at a prestigious seminar designed to attract investors. Unfortunately, Vera’s prior visit to a hypnotist to help her quit smoking results in some unexpected consequences… such as losing her normal inhibitions during their crucial pitch weekend.

While no one knows what actually happened between the two boys, the incident triggers a series of events, forcing parents and school staff into a captivating battle of redemption where madness, desire and obsession arise.
