Summaries

Charly is looking for Amy, who disappeared during a vacation. He decides to visit the hotel to finally solve the mystery once and for all. However, Charly's investigation is quickly derailed and leads him into a phantasmagorical nightmare.

The Copenhagen streets lead to the doorway of hell in Jesper Isaksen's stylish horror thriller 'Victim of Love'. At least for Charly (Rudi Køhnke) who has unwillingly returned to his hometown Copenhagen in order to search for his American girlfriend Amy who disappeared under strange circumstances at a hotel. Charly decides to revisit the hotel but is soon distracted by possible criminal activities in the room next door, by the tempting bartender Felicia (Siff Andersson) and his own faltering sense of judgment. 'Victim of Love' is a film that slowly becomes a state of mind. Good old Copenhagen is decaying into a phantasmagorical nightmare, causing us to doubt what we're watching. The style becomes part of the story in this ambitious debut with full-on suggestive imagery, elegant lighting and deep, reddish colors by accomplished color grader Norman Nisbet ('Melancholia' and 'The Neon Demon'). Isaksen knows what he wants, when he pulls the rug out from under the audience, letting us sink into the depths of the mind where a convincing Rudi Køhnke hunts ghosts - and himself - as the perplexed Charly.
