"Brent av frost"

The Norwegian movie Brent av frost (1997) is famous for having a scene where a couple makes love in a boat full of fish. With LEGO having both boats and fish, this scene is of course possible to recreate:


The actor, Gørild Mauseth, made a deal that the scene would never be shown out of context. She later took a broadcasting corporation to court when they did show the scene on national television, since it had recently been parodied in the movie Kill Buljo. She won the case.

In the start of the scene, the actor cuts a fish open, and lets the blood drip on her body:


To photograph the scene, I used a transparent bucket as a simple macro softbox, for more even lightning. I used the Leica 45mm f/2.8 macro lens, and the Lumix GH3 camera.
