    Go wild in the country

    Absolutely loved this movie, beautifully shot with some stunning scenery and a story that rolls along and keeps you interested throughout. Although Martin, the main protagonist, is a bit of a giant loser it seems, the film takes him very seriously and his adventures with Musa who he meets by accident (literally) feel entirely within the boundaries of possibility.

    It makes you laugh a lot as well as making you wince, the performances are uniformly good and it develops a real Fargo-like feel but without any homage or aping of that production. Even the chocolate box ending made sense in light of everything that goes before it and I came out of the cinema smiling, which is nice in these difficult times.

    Average

    Just not that funny, and all a bit to "over the top".

    It was way to stereotype, apart from the nature shots, I just simply didn't feel it.

    Everything what was supposed to wrong, went wrong.

    The acting wasn't superb, and the story itself wasn't something which attracted me.

    Wild Men

    "Martin" (Rasmus Bjerg) does a fine impersonation of a Viking chasing down a goat with a bow and arrow... Thing is, he's pretty useless and we quickly discover he's a fairly fair-weather hunter with a penchant for crisps and chocolate. Whilst he is foraging, a group of men driving along the road have an unfortunate encounter with a moose and believing his friends are dead, the injured "Musa" (Zaki Youssef) abandons the wreck and sets off for help. It's "Martin" who finds him and helps him with some home made first aid before they set off together to find his tent. Separately, we are aware that the police are after after the moose-manglers and when they apprehend "Musa", "Martin" intervenes making him just as wanted as his new friend and setting the scene for some daft escapades amongst the wilderness. What only makes matters worse is that his friends are still very much alive, and they too are on his trail - all for the contents of a sports bag! At times this is actually quite funny and Bjerg has a bit of comedy timing to him, but sadly the story rather runs out of steam and becomes a little too farcical as thugs, police and the pair reach a disappointing denouement. There is some glorious scenery to behold and the writing does delivery some fun from the characters' eccentricities - especially the familiar face of Rune Temte who's "Henrik" leads a village of real live Vikings cooking freshly caught meat over the fire (whilst their car is parked nearby). It tries a bit too hard, but is a bit different and worth a watch.

    Quirky Danish black comedy

    If you enjoyed "Seven Psychopaths", "Fargo" or "Flickering Lights" then this movie is for you.

    Beautiful cinematography with a cast of inept policemen and bumbling crooks.

    Ok, there are a few "Eh?" moments but by and large it's a study of human behaviour and the challenges of life set against a bleak Scandinavian landscape.

    Worth a look.

    A comedy that morphed into a drama.

    Synopsis: In a desperate attempt to cure his midlife crisis, Martin has fled his family to live high up in the Norwegian mountains. Hunting and gathering like his ancestors did thousands of years ago.

    The synopsis touches on the comedic aspect of the story, but really it faltered after about 15 minutes and became a drama with elements of black comedy.

    Aspects just didn't work at all, like the couple in the car about half way though.

    Nice to see Sofie Gråbøl 15 years on from The Killing.

    Overall, I was a bit disappointed after a promising start. The elements were there for a good comedy, but it failed to deliver on that score.

    Still better than a lot of contemporary dramas.

    • Trivia
      The Danish release was delayed after the incident in Norway on 13 October 2021 in which a Danish national shot and killed several people with arrows after an altercation in a grocery store. The film is about a Danish man in Norway, and the poster showed him standing in a grocery store with a bow and arrows on his back.
