O'Horten is another great film by Bent Hamer, of which I really loved watching Eggs and not to mention Salmer fra kjøkkenet (Kitchen stories). It's superb storytelling without lots of noise, and with great and quiet use of humor.
In O'Horten there are some great moments which sets an impression on you. Like when someone steels Hortens boots while secretly night bathing in an indoor swimming pool. He finds a solution which i s just hilarious. Like taken from a classic Pink Panther movie.
So is the meeting with the old guy, inviting Horten to drive blindfolded in the downtown streets of Oslo in the middle of the night. You'll be glad you never was out in the streets, and you'll never forget it.
The film deserves a large audience. I hear the film has been sold to a lot of countries for cinema screening, among them, not usual for a Norwegian flick, the USA.
