Anyone catch this flick yet? I saw it on Weds at the Hippodrome. Pretty damn good.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0827517/
This is from an interview with the director:
Music is used to great effect in Reprise and the punk group Kommune also appears in the movie. Is music as important to you as it seems to be to some of the characters in the film?
Growing up in Norway, a lot of young people don’t feel a strong sense of cultural identity as a Norwegian. When you are 23 what music you listen to or what books you read becomes your identity. I wanted to show the ambivalence of this alienation. I am not just critical, maybe there is a sort of freedom in this pick and mix approach to culture?

interesting fact: The director Joachim has twice been the National Skateboard Champion in Norway. (but there's no skating in this film)

Well, tonight it's a toss up between No Country for Old Men (again) and Reprise (which should be on the doormat when I get in).
Decisions....

Well, it ended up being No Country but only because Reprise still hasn't arrived.
Royal Mail suck.
