This is a movie quite unique in Norwegian film-history. We follow five stories in Oslo through 24 hours. Through the movie, they are all brought together, and it all ends in a climactic scene in the end.
As a Norwegian movie, this is unique. This kind of storytelling is unusual in movies from this country. The editing is also ground-breaking.
Starring some of the best TV/movie/theatre-actors in the country, this becomes a thrilling ride through the streets of Oslo, and through the mind of the characters. Especially Stig Henrik Hoff as the desperate father of a death-sick child need mentioning. Another is the young actor who plays the oldest of the two orphan brothers. Excellent performance! Director Erik Poppe (Schpaaa) shows that he is a man worthy of his position with this one.
A few things though. First, the music needs improvement. When will Norwegian movie-makers understand this? It's just too simple for the complex plots and scenes.
Some of the symbolism could have been a little clearer. Like the "wise newspaper delivery girl" - What's that all about?
This has just been chosen as Norway's contribution to the 2005 Academy Awards. It clearly deserves a nomination. Let's hope the academy gives it one!
8/10
