"Sniffer" is an American 10-minute movie from 10 years ago. The writer and director is Bobbie Peers and even if his name does not sound like it, he is a Norwegian filmmaker. And as a consequence, this one here is also a Norwegian movie. But don't worry, there is no talking in here, so you won't need subtitles if you don't speak Norwegian. The fact that this is an European production may be one reason why this one won so many awards, especially here and in Europe and in particular at the Cannes Film Festival where they really loved it back then and honored it all the ways they could think of. But I cannot share the praise. In my opinion, this was a very mediocre little movie, be it in terms of acting, or especially in terms of the script. Yes it is very absurd, but that is not enough to make it a good movie or exciting watch. It is perfectly fine if a film is not realistic, there exist entire genres that lack realism, but then it has to deliver significantly in other areas and this one here doesn't Thumbs down.
