Two brothers in their seventies, Pa and Moe, have lived together all their lives in a little house in the country, the only interruption being when Pa made a weekend trip to Småland on his moped during the second World War. The past returns when his adult son dating from his Swedish visit, Konrad, comes to live with them after his mother has fallen ill. Soon Moe is about to discover that three is indeed a crowd...

March Around the World #20: Norway
I've been searching for this one for years - thanks to Letterboxd champion 'The Critic' for helping me track it down! A few years ago, I went to see Bent Hamer's masterpiece O'Horten at a local cinema just because it was Norwegian, and my girlfriend was studying the language - it has been one of my absolute favourite films ever since, and I love most of his other work too, so it was frustrating that his early films were so hard to find; I couldn't even track down copies of them by visiting Norway (note: this was not actually the reason I went to Norway, that would be intense).
Anyway, was it all worth…
Impressive first feature film from Hamer about two old brothers in their 70s who saw their routine challenges by the arrival of one’s disabled son.
It’s a quiet and intelligent little gem with funny deadpan humor combines with a bit of drama.
Çok bilinmeyen ancak izlenmesi gereken bir Norveç filmi. Sıradan ve bir o kadar da sıradışı.
Such a cute and chill movie with a cool playlist and then there is a Konrad 😡
I loved the uniquely fragmented storytelling, sometimes entire scenes lasting no more than 15 seconds and sometimes one shot of dead time lasting for several minutes; this tale of two elderly brothers made me scratch my head many times and I guess I'll continue thinking about it for quite some time.
Salmer fra kjøkkenet-core.
Vidunderlig. Kjem meg aldre over skjorta til Moe som matche tapeten når han snike rundt inne på Konrad sitt rom😭
Watched at Haugesund Film Club. Quite a couple of old bois. Of course their world turns upside down when a Swede enters.
Lots to process from this. What's the deal with the eggs???
Morsom, trist, fin og utrolig underholdene
KØDDA DU LMAO
Ikonisk, so morsom, elska vinklene og fargane og heile greia. So artig. Gjøken as.
Morsom, mystisk og bra skuespillere

I have nothing to say except that I just wasn’t into it at all.
