Featured review
Multi-faceted
Hard to classify this movie, after watching it at the New Zealand International Film Festival just a few hours ago.
Humorous? Certainly. In some moments even hilarious. Yet, this movie has some very u-boat layers to its seemingly light-hearted making-fun-of-arts theme. Even though it is tempting, I am not going to be an artsy-fartsy-smartarse trying to deliver a holistic explanation of this flick (all I'm saying is: "Swedish society" and "human nature").
The acting is superb and sometimes massively ("Oleg-style") impressive.
My only criticism is that the movie is too long. Clipping some minutes here, and some minutes there, would have streamlined the viewing experience.
A complex movie. Recommended to watch whenever you have some spare brain capacity at hands. ;-)
