Anybody a fan of Scandinavian movies, like Danish, Swedish, etc? I watched quite a few of them in the last one year and I think they make some pretty good movies!!
Here are a few of my favorites, I will add more as I remember them, I strongly suggest you check them out if you are into good foreign movies.
Thanks, saw the whole Dragon Tattoo series and loved it (I thought the recently release US-version of part 1 was good too). Have not seen Reprise, will check it out.
Mads Mikkelsen is really awesome, I like the versatility of his acting. Check out Adam's Apples if you have not already !!
Oh and thanks for reminding me of "Hawaii, Oslo" ...I remembered the plot but could not remember the name of the movie. I have seen it and I LOVED IT !!
World's Apart was a good 2008 Danish picture that attracted very little attention.
Also, the original Insomnia was excellent.
The Norwegian epic Edvard Munch from the 70's is on my short list of the best pictures I've ever seen. And Bergman's Fanny and Alexander.
The Icelandic fllm industry is turning out quite a few pictures, which are surprisingly good. Jar City was one.
Mustn't forget the Dogme genre from Denmark. Festen and a few others.
I Am Curious (Yellow), in 1967, was outrageous for explicitly sexual and controversial politico-religious themes, mildly popular and widely talked about in the real world, but seized by US customs agents protecting the tender ears and eyes of the innocent Americans who were busy burning Detroit and napalming Vietnamese children. I saw it in Copenhagen in '68, and it was disappointing and not all that shocking.
Lilya 4ever-though very heartbreaking, is an excellent film. Russian language but directed by Lukas Moodyson. I'm not familiar with his other work.
The Seventh Seal will probably always be my fav Scandinavian film . Elling was also a good one.
