Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Denis Villeneuve was disappointed with his first two movies, August 32nd on Earth (1998) and Maelstrom (2000), so he took a nine-year sabbatical as a stay-at-home dad. He vowed to return "when I was ready to make a film I could be proud of", which was Polytechnique (2009).
- Quotes
Evian: He wasn't supposed to be cremated.
Funeral home employee: Oh no? Oops!
- Crazy creditsThere is text at the beginning of the movie in Norwegian: "Vi ber om unnskyldning til alle våre norske venner. Filmen viser et bilde av Norge som er basert på klisjéer. Vi skrev filmmanuset under hypnose. Vi beklager at alt i filmen er oppspinn."
It translates as: "We apologize to all our Norwegian friends. The film shows a picture of Norway based on clichés. We wrote the movie script under hypnosis. We regret that everything in the movie is a fabrication."
- SoundtracksGood Morning Starshine

Written by Galt MacDermot, James Rado and Gerome Ragni

Featured review
Meh
When the first scene started I didn't even realize I was watching a fish until it moved its mouth. This plot wasn't anything special, with the only unique part being a fish telling the story. People and things are somehow related, like we are living in a small world. Mostly predictable and boring, I don't think this one is as thought provoking or profound as it seemed to be. 4.5/10.
