Norway vs. Sweden? Both win:
This charming, moving, and funny film is the tale of a Swede, Folke, who is an observer for a research project concerning kitchen use patterns in single males, and the solitary Norwegian, Isak, he is assigned to observe. As Folke observes, so he is observed. And as the line between observer and observed disappears, so do conflicts and jealousies arise between Folke and Grant, Isak's only friend. To most people, Swedes and Norwegians seem interchangeable, but if you are Swedish or Norwegian (my mother is Norwegian) you will enjoy the interracial quibbling, as the filmmaker pokes fun at both Norwegians and Swedes sweetly and gently. A lovely, lovely film.
Beautifully Human:
A great movie with no special effects ... just the charm and humour of real people and real life. This one's a keeper!
