Great minimalistic, satirical and almost surreal movie about single men's behaviour in their kitchens and the futility of observational analysis of said topic.. You know you wanna see it!

#00s(m)#, reviews, story

This is a wonderful little bit of absurdism, highlighted by that delightful Scandinavian sense of deadpan humor and some truly touching moments. The film draws on several themes (postwar attitudes, tensions between the Nordic nations, the role of the documentarian, privacy) but ultimately is simply a testament to the triumph of the human spirit over all sorts of nonsense. Great performances all around, a hilarious and clever script, and fine camerawork. Definitely worth checking out.

"A male weepie with a serious case of the cutes." - Ed Gonzalez

a must-see for social scientists and aspirants

A really sweet story of the slowly thawing relationship between a Swedish scientific observer, and his cranky old Norwegian subject. The fifties setting is beautifully created, and as much is said between the two men by their silences as their words. I'm sure there's an allegory in there too, but this is a wonderfully warm film anyway.

needs rewatch

Full of dry humour and a bizarre concept, it's pretty successful as both entertainment and an examination of isolated human interaction. It does drag a little at the end when it can't keep the balance of the tone steady, but still works out pretty well.

I just don't buy it

Dry, quiet, and very funny. There are no wild speeches, and no kray-zee action, but this well-photographed movie shows you don't need it.
