YAWN! Huh, sorry, I fell asleep in the ambulance..., 4 February 2006
5/10
Author: earlgoldcrap from United States

Brief Synopsis: Vidar can dream into the future. What he sees frightens him. Extreme Foreshadowing! He runs a Hostel for mildly "touched" Leon who pines for his girlfriend of fifteen years ago, Asa, now a detached stewardess character with no lines, no backstory, and no character development, who's returning to celebrate Leon's birthday and presumably to marry him, due to a "pact" they made when children, along with Leon's brother, Trygve, who is temporarily released from prison (serving time for being represented with homo-erotic undertones -- wet and naked in jail! -- and armed robbery), and uses the birthday as an excuse to escape prison, while on the OTHER side of town a couple gives birth to a child with a heart condition in an ambulance that will soon embark to rescue a mother of two indigent children who is attempting suicide for the second or third time...

You know what, I give up. There are like seven more characters and two more plots. Only a few of these many many MANY characters have any real life to them (all of them are men, for some reason), and in the end you just want Bruce Willis to come in and save everyone from a burning building and get it over with. We could have used just one of these plot s to realize a handful of characters, a real story, with real exposition.

Influences: Rips Off (Half Heartedly) "Les Arbre De Desire", "Run Lola Run", "If Lucy Fell", with a wee bit of "Rainman" and "Mystery Train" thrown in for color.

Sorry Norway, you're no Morocco! For a great movie about learning how to love, see "Roads to Koktebel" or "Viva Laldjerie".
