1732 Høtten (1998)
Unrealistic
I couldn't believe my eyes, when I saw this movie. How could the producers at Norsk Film let this script come through and support it financially?? It beats me. No such place excists in Norway. The scriptwriter must have seen too many American films. The plot sucked, we never get to know anything really. Some of the actors does their job, but I just can't understand that so many of the finest actors in Norway are in this motion picture.
It's completely unrealistic, the carachters are non-believeable and Høtten is not a kind of place one might find in Norway, or any other place. This film has turkey written all over it. The reason why this has done quite good at some festivals abraod is simply because people outside of Norway just don't see how unrealistic this film is!!
Thranes metode (1998)
Interesting
I thought this movie was interesting. It's a play adopted to the screen. You wont find action written all over it. It's a silent beautiful movie, well shot and directed. Petronella Barker is as always a sight for sore eyes, maybe the most beautiful actress in Norway. I would recommend it for someone who are looking for a silent moment, and who are looking for something that makes them think. But if you are looking for action, look the other way...
Livredd (1997)
Quite amusing
This is different from many other norwegian movies these days. It tries to get under your skin, and sometimes succeeds. But sometimes it lacks in reality by trying to be to real...The actors are quite good, especially Bjarte Hjelmeland. Moviefans should see this movie because of its style, even though the movie sometimes fails.
Vildanden (1963)
Slow...
This TV-theatre of Ibsens "Vildanden" is really slow. It's typical early 60's. One must really be an admirer of Ibsen to enjoy this play. I saw it with my norwegian class, and I was really bored. This one is for those who is really into Ibsen...
Budbringeren (1997)
Best norweagian movie for many years
This has to be the best norweagian movie for many years. The carachters are great, the athmosphere is really dark, like in the center of town. It really catches Oslo at it's darkest, things that we really know, but don't really think about. Like how much does your mailman really know about you? It's a fun movie as well, see it!!
Showbiz - eller hvordan bli kjendis på en-to-tre! (1989)
Excellent movie!!
This is the best Norweagian film ever made. A film you can see over and over again, if you like Falsk & Mathisen. A cult classic!
