Hopeful Visitors and Grieving Guides: Notes from the Travel Notebook of a Dark Tourist Trailers

The tourist appeal of ethically problematic destinations is a phenomenon known as dark tourism. The filmmakers' itinerary for their tour of Norway included sites such as the robust sculptures of Gustav Vigeland, criticised for their proximity to Nazi aesthetics, wind farms making Sami pastures inaccessible, and the island of Utøya. Using performative and post-production gestures, they have attempted to come to terms with the plight of dark tourists.

Reviews
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
