My Take
Borgli feels like one of the sharpest new voices in cinema to me. Sick of Myself and Dream Scenario share a wicked interest in modern self-image, attention-hunger, and the absurd lengths people go to be seen, and he writes, directs, and edits with real control. The Amanda Award for screenplay confirms the instinct. What I like most is the tone: a cool Scandinavian detachment laced with genuine cruelty and comedy, so the satire never feels safe. Born in 1985, he is just hitting his stride, and I am genuinely eager to see what uncomfortable mirror he holds up next.
