Skam (2015– )

SKAM(shame) is a big hit in Norway

[10/10 · 8 August 2016]

A teenage drama with a very good soundtrack about friendship, love life, partying, violence, drinking, sex and much more It's funny, charming, realistic and addictive!

So far it's only people in the Scandinavian countries who can easily understand this Norwegian series, and up to now there have been no subtitles

But recently some kindhearted angels did the hard work for free and uploaded it at Dailymotion and Vimeo, so just google "skam English", stream and enjoy ;) Give it a try, you will not regret!

Russ = 3rd year student, some students buy a van together and make it a "russebil", others buy a bus and make it a "russebuss", those vehicles are mainly used between May 1st and May 17th(Norway's Constitution Day) for a 17 day long party

Funny Games (1997)

An important movie

[10/10 · 21 March 2011]

I saw this move many years ago and I can still remember my reaction after watching it. I shall not comment the story in detail, you guys have done that already. I just want to tell those who dislike the movie why I think its a good and important film.

Haneke doesn't basically want to entertain us, but rather make us ask ourself why we watch violent movies and if we really enjoy it, and why? For me this movie was a turning point. Violence in movies could never be seen in the same way after this.

I tough that I was hard and had seen it all in movies and that nothing could affect me. Well, Haneke proved me wrong. I saw this movie at home together with my ex, the absence of music and direct violence was extremely effective. When the movie ended neither me or my ex said anything, we just stood from the couch and walked like zombies to the bedroom. No words where exchanged we just went to bed trying to sleep. For my sake I couldn't, I had to many things on my mind and all of my body where aching.
