Watched this in the summer and was bored by it. Lets try again.
Odd Horten. A 67 year old pipe smoking train driver about to retire. Lights up pipe. Taciturn. Sucks on pipe. Reticent. Puffs on pipe. Expressionless.
Has he got a daft sense of humour? No. A wacky hobby? No. A naughty sex life? No. Has he got any inner life at all? Er, no.
The lighting and puffing of this pipe. Is about as interesting as Odd is going to get.
The acting is deliberately doggedly dull. The actor is doggedly dull too. Too dull. Distinct lack of oddness.
I need some quirk. Eventually some quirk comes. A dry kind of daftness.
"All my friends jumped but not me. And now its too late" laments Odd. "It seems most things come too late in life".
Well, its never too late. To make that (ski) jump.
He jumped (of course) Maybe I've only watched this cus its a Norwegian film. And it's December. And i needed to see some lonely snowy winter.
What was this film? A tribute to the Everyman – or in this case a Norwegian Nobody.
It fell as flat as Bent Hamers other film, that misfiring dud Kitchen Stories.
A lot of pipe smoking in that too.
