Den forsvundne pølsemaker (1941)
Better than I expected
Good, funny and not over the top Norwegian humor. One of the best Norwegian films I have ever seen. Another big plus is that it has aged pretty well too, not too much sexism and stuff like that, like other 1940 movies around the world.
The chemistry between the characters are great as well, I was very positively surprised at the level of acting and quality. Some of the jokes are a little outdated but that's too be expected.
Really loved the one scene filmed outside the castle in Norway, it was cool to see how the streets of Oslo looked over 80 years ago, this film is like a little time capsule both in language, environment and characters..
10/10 would recommend:)
Twins (1988)
My new favorite movie!
This is honestly one of the best films I have seen in a while!
All from the sweetness of Julius to the roughness of Vince. I think the reason people have decided not to like this is because it breaks the stereotypes and typecasting of bodybuilders, in this case Arnold Schwarzenegger. When Twins came out, everyone knew him from terminator and seeing him in a film like this would have felt wrong, I can imagine.
I this this is a beautiful part of acting and this piece specifically. You see this trope everywhere now but then, not so much. But to have a guy built like Arnold with a personality like Julius. Perfect match.
WATCH! It's worth it!
