Interestingly, the directorial style &#8212; especially during the surreal first third, which is designed like a sound-stage operetta &#8212; bears much in common with early Soviet cinema, yet with the added cognitive dissonance of seeing well-known American stars populating the screen. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/North-Star-Romance.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/North-Star-Romance.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-55424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/North-Star-Romance.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/North-Star-Romance-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/North-Star-Romance-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/North-Star-Romance-360x270.png 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is unfortunately very little to commend during these opening scenes, which are set up simply as a starkly idyllic, drawn-out counterpoint to the hell that&#8217;s about to descend, complete with corny musical interludes.
