Kristin Lavransdatter (1995)

The Undset novel made boring by norwegian diva Liv Ullmann

[4 May 2001]

In Norway we have to go to the cinema during school, often to see heavy drama movies we wouldn't see at all otherwise. I mean what sane 15 year old would personally go to see a medieval drama directed by Liv Ullmann. Anyway, this movie can easily be summed up by one word: crying..

From scene one the main character Kristin is hit by tragedy and cries. And that continues for a looong time. So rather read the book than watch this movie, but it might be great to see with your girlfriend if you manage to act the correct way.

Vilde, the Wild One (1986)

Probably one of the most boring films ever made

[5 January 2001]

If you haven`t seen this "masterpiece" consider yourself lucky. It`s a classic norwegian tragedy, but with Vibeke Løkkebergs unique boredom. Here you can have 25 minutes with a woman standing in front of a boat. to quote Monthy Python: this is a wine for staying away and avoiding.
