Oh my God

This film created a huge debate in tiny little Norway back in 1966 Today it's just way out of date, providing nothing more than unintentional laughs. The acting is like many other Norwegian movies at the time over-dramatic, and theatrical. The story about a preacher who sees himself as Gods healing messenger, has a basic political good idea, but falls into pieces during the movie. It's just to old to engage today, and back then to naive, but then again maybe we all were naive at that time. This is Richard Pearce's Leap of Faith, in the reverse, providing about the same amount of laughs, at the wrong places. If Pearce was forced to make a deeply serious version of his comedy, it would look like this.
