Trivia
Kraftidioten is Norwegian for 'complete moron' or 'total idiot' (literally: power idiot). The term 'kraftidiot' usually applies to people behaving foolishly. It doesn't mean someone is a moron. A person who can't add up numbers would be a regular 'idiot.' A kraftidiot is a mean-spirited person, not stupid. In English, there isn't really a term that applies well.

Goofs
The Fisker Karma, being an electric vehicle, should have a license plate starting with 'EL', not 'DN'.

Crazy credits
In the end credits the names of all actors appear at the same time, in grey letters on black background, scattered across the entire screen. In order of their disappearance (their last appearance in the film) the names are highlighted in white, then fade away entirely.

Beautiful yet ugly.. Hilarious yet touching..

First Headhunters, now this.. The films that keep coming out of Scandinavia, and in particular Norway, are hard to beat. Headhunters was most definitely one of my favourites of last years and this is also very high on the list.

For me it's the (fairly) unknown actors, the absolutely shameless and inventive humor and I guess that beautiful landscape. And of course the great, very well known, Stellan Skarsgard for whom this seems like it's especially made for. He is perfect and such a great character that you will be rooting for him long after the film is finished. He makes the film, but it probably would have worked with another actor as well, as the story is so original and highly entertaining.

Absolutely loved it and can't wait to see it again. Hollywood: HANDS OFF 8/10
