SICK OF MYSELF (Syk Pike)

2022, comedy-drama / body horror Protected content
with Kristine Kujath Thorp and Eirik Sæther

in Norwegian with Czech and English subtitles.

In this pitch black satirical comedy, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in Protected content , director Kristoffer Borgli portrays a toxic relationship and brilliantly satirises the self promotional tendencies of contemporary media. The original title of the film, Sick Girl, refers to a popular subject in mid-19th/early 20th century Scandinavian art.

Signe and Thomas are in a competitive relationship that takes a vicious turn when Thomas suddenly breaks through as an artist. In response, Signe makes a desperate and shockingly self destructive attempt to regain her status by deliberately making herself ill to attract attention and sympathy.
