      Audience Member A fantastic movie about the locals in the mid-Norway area. The different peoples in the movie are very caricatured but still, their different personalities and peculiar personal manners makes this film a joy. As a Norwegiaone kind of relate to the different characters.The plot is simple but brings the movie forward in a steady pace. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Idzie GrzeÅ> przez Å>nieg worek lÄ(TM)ku niesie.Tylko w Norwegii taki end uchodzi za happy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review dave j Friday, May 9, 2014 (2009) North (In Norwegian with English subtitles) DRAMA Watching this movie reminded me of a Norwegian western since it has him snowmobiling from place to place, shack to shack, who smokes always asking for booze except that it's through the gorgeous snowy climate. Sometimes he steals things from other peoples barns for the tools he needs. The thin plot device only serves as a backdrop to the vast snowy landscapes the average Norwegian citizen lives on which is no different than any desert people cross through throughout the world. It stars Anders Baasmo Christiansen as one-time skier Jomar Henriksen who works at a ski resort who gets a passerby visit from a friend. Jomar's friend informs him that his son misses his biological dad, even though it was him that Jomar's ex had cheated on and then left with, creating an awkward rift. Jomar is not motivated to see his son until an unfortunate circumstance were to happen, and that is when he ends up burning the resort where he'd been staying in which he has to go somewhere up "north"- hence the title. One of my favorite highlights is when Jomar gets taken in by a little girl who lives with her grandmother when he got freezer burn on his eyes. This movie is not for all tastes since it can be deemed as slow and subtle. Some of the characters Jomar meets along the way are eccentric and quirky which is what keeps this film interesting. 2.5 out of 4 stars Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny, Charming & Entertaining Road Trip trough the Icy North of Norway!!! I love the Norwegian Humour!!! Excellent Cinematography & Soundtrack!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Un uomo solo e solitario attraversa una bianca distesa senza fine, incontrando una serie di personaggi, tutti notevolmente strambi, fino al limite del surreale. I dialoghi sono ridotti all'osso, così come gli insediamenti umani disseminati sulla sua strada. Le musiche ricalcano quelle dei road movie statunitensi. Per lo più, però, domina il silenzio. E ogni tanto il suono del vento che infuria. Film lento e rarefatto, ma nell'insieme funziona alla perfezione. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmmm, let's say ... somewhat special ... road movie without the road but with lots of snow and strange people...
