Disturbing and laughable social realism

This movie makes you laugh and it makes you cry. A sad and funny story about life in a collective in Oslo-Norway in the late seventies/early eighties. Marxism and Socialism is the background of the characters in this movie. The post-WWII generation with ideals like socialism and marxism is vividly described in this incredible good movie.

All problems in the collective between the 3-4 families(about 15-17 people) are solved in democratic fashion. But when time goes by, different views is day-lighted and some un-agreements between the otherwise so democratic and peaceful people, results in some fights and clashes among them.

The little world of democracy and socialism way of thinking in the collective becomes "disturbed" by individual differences. The new political world on the outside, with new views on matters is coloring the people in the collective.

Nudity, sex, violence, suicide, profanity, cursing.....oh yeah, this is social realism as I like it.

A disturbing and hilarious movie. This is the mother of scandinavian social realism. One of Wam and Venneroeds all time classics.
