Mongoland

This movie is about Pia, who comes back to Stavanger. She wants to find her old boyfriend, Kristoffer, with whom she had a fight, prior to her departure. The movie has two story-lines running concurrently: One, in black-and-white, following Pia's current search for Kristoffer and her encounters, and the other one, in color, telling the story of how Pia and Kristoffer met and what they did until they split up.

While following Pia, we also observe all her friends and their ups and downs. Some of the characters are little more than caricatures, but help create some of the most hilarious scenes in the film. The main characters however, have a lot more depth, and evolve throughout the movie. All the actors show great enthusiasm in their screen-play.

This is a Norwegian must-see about love, friendship, Christmas and coming home.

I was fond of the message of this movie: don't let go of the people you love. There is never any certainty of how relationships might work or not work out, but this movie shows that, no matter what, one should listen and follow one's heart at present times. The fear of being left alone make people not dare bet their feelings into relationships that faced a crucial moment at one point. Avoiding and running away is always safer. Mongoland shows that not being able to face yourself gets you in even darker corners of life and mind. Apart from the main message, the movie presents different human behaviors in personal and social contexts and it highlights them through image rather then dialogues.

funny movie about a girl from Stavanger thats looking for her old boyfriend. Lots of cute girls. And very good actors. A movie for everyone. good story and plot. One of the best movies made in Norway ever! Lots of good music. The only bad thing to say about the movie is that its partitially in black & white

I saw this movie the weekend it opened. And I must say, what a movie! The first movie ever from Stavanger proves to be both fun and entertaining, without losing it's depth. Shows that big budgets and star actors is not always important if you have a story to tell.

I smiled all the way. Don't miss it.

I've been checking out Scandinavian films, because I'm from scandinavia and therefore it seems natural and easy to relate to the films that are from this area of the world. And I've seen a lot of excellent danish movies and also really good Swedish movies, but this is the first really good norwegian movie I have seen:-). Kristoffer Joner is a fantastic actor and I will be looking out for him, he has done a good job in the movies I have seen, and this movie is no exception. The movie itself is captivating and funny at the same time. The main theme is love and the relationship between male and female, and it's played out really well. Both of the main characters play excellent and you believe their story and the side characters are maybe a bit exaggerated but that is what is funny in a movie and it works. Actually maybe they are not so exaggerated, because people who are really their own do exist:-)
