elling

Since I have lived in the US for the past 12 years I haven't seen many Scandinavian movies during that time. Netflix helps me pack them in though.

Today I watched Elling, a Norwegian film from 2001. In the photo you see the two main characters, their new friends, and a 1958 Buick that the guy dressed in overalls has just fixed. It's an unlikely group of friends, and a lovely, charming, movie that is sweet and human in the freshest possible way. (And yeah remember it's Scandinavian so there are body fluids and mental hospitals too here and there.)
