The third film we’ve featured from Norwegian director Henry K. Norvalls (although this one was actually released first), “Shower” is another riveting short about identity and sexuality. In it, a young man showering in a locker room hears a faint noise and decides whether or not to respond. Visceral in its suspense-building and even more so in its raw final moments, “Shower” layers complex issues into a brilliantly economic form, much like Norvalls’ other recent work, “Sweet Things” and “Taxfree”. Written and directed by Henry K. Norvalls. Cast: Svend Erichsen and Per Magnus Barlaug.
