The painter also meets a young Russian American man named Yasha (Alex Sharp) who’s determined to fulfill his dead father’s wish to have a Viking funeral; later, he and Frances sleep together in the yellow barn, where Nils and some Norwegian government inspectors discover them. Others, such as Frances’ difficult parents (David Paymer and Jessica Hecht) and Yasha’s colorful mother (an amusing Gillian Anderson) get a lot less time onstage, which has the paradoxical effect of making their occasional appearances that much more memorable.

Director David Wnendt and cinematographer Martin Ahlgren lavish attention on the Norwegian setting, and it’s simply gorgeous to look at; the yellow barn, in particular, is exquisite, and words alone can’t do it justice.

It would seem that the author (who now goes by her married name, Rebecca Dinerstein Knight) saw fit to make several changes when she adapted her book to the screen—and the film is much better for it.

That artist, Nils (Fridtjov Såheim), is painting a barn, mostly in shades of yellow, as an art piece. Indeed, this film adaptation, which will be available to view on demand on July 17, doesn’t just do the novel justice—it does it a service. In a brisk 82 minutes, it does what the very best adaptations do: It shines a light on its source material’s strengths, and casts the rest into darkness.
