If you are troubling with falling to sleep at night, this movie is probably the perfect cure. Or if you are among those people who actually found "Eternity and a day" by Theodoros Angelopoulos entertaining (these unsuccessful attempts on creating "poetic" movies about human existence...), you will probably enjoy O'Horten as well. O'Horten is simply an extremely slow-going, unbelievably boring movie about a not interesting man and his not engaging life. I often find silent movies interesting (for instance "Pelle Erobreren", "Le temps qui reste", "The Ice Storm" etc), but this movie is nothing but a painful glimpse into the poor Norwegian cinema industry. That's what it is. A reflection of how weak Norwegian movies are at the present.
Stay away (unless you haven't slept in a week)
(**The two stars are for the nice tunnel-shots in the opening scene)
