deUsynlige (2008)
So typical!
This is Norwegian film in a nutshell, stiff and unnatural dialouge, an introvert main character and a pretentious story filled with angst...This movie is about regret, guilt and the ability to forgive each other, to make it all too obvious most of the story involves a church.Long scenes without dialouge that are meant to be sacral and beautiful but turns out just irritating and predictable.
I just can't understand the mainstream critics who swallows this pompous and totally boring piece of ....!Just because the movie deals with serious issues involving God and forgiveness and so on it shouldn't be praised as the work of a genius.But i guess there will always be a bunch of pseudo intellectuals which enjoy these kind of movies with their red-wine.
If you want too see a good Norwegian movie, see FATSO, it's underrated and it didn't go well with the critics...maybe because it's filled up with good dialouge, exiting characters and spot on observations, but i guess that doesn't appeal to the elitists in the media.

fatso-a refreshing movie
This was like a breath of fresh air, while other norwegian movies tend to be pretentious and corny.The dialouge is good and the film balances the tragic and funny in a brilliant way.I allso liked the animation that were used several times in the movie, it gives the movie an arty feel and it was a creative way to not show the most vulgar parts of the story. I don't think this is a movie who makes fun of people, i rather think its a movie about overcoming obstacles and growing as a person. I liked that it wasn't a straight up comedy,it was bitter sweet and insightfull. So if you are tired of empty and thoughtless comedies, i strongly recommend this one!!7 out of 10 in my book. enjoy!
