Press
“In Josefin Neldén, Kempff has found the perfect actress, versatile enough to play the loving, if far from ideal, mother, the lover of her son’s already married, and therefore adulterous, father, and the downright steam-punk daredevil, covered in oil and mud, with big swimming goggles over her eyes – in short, an emancipated woman of the 1930s who has truly perfected her technique in her discipline.”
