You have to have a few prerequisites before taking on this one - a special kind of humour (Monty Python style - totally without boundaries) and a sense for the grotesque. THEN and only then will you have good time. This movie is out of here - like "Bad Boy Bubby"...except that you do not want to take this one serious for a single second...
A pot-smoking coloured fellow and a rather fat chronic masturbating axe-wielding redneck as brothers, a drunk priest, an alcoholic wife-murderer, reindeer and sex? Could you wish for more? Do not make the mistake of taking someone for this movie as the first date. Could prove to be disastrous, if your date has the wrong kind of attitude.

This is one of the best norwegian movies I have seen. (But I have not seen many.) It is funny, and quite strange. But that is part of the reasons why I liked it so much.
To pick an example of one of the weird scenes in this movie, there is a man, in bed, that masturbates so hard that the house eventually explodes and burns down to the ground.
Oh...and sometimes the people who sings/plays the soundtrack just stand or wanders around in the background of the scene.
I think many will love this movie, and many will hate it.
I loved it, cause of it's weirdness and humor.

I think that Svidd Neger is a pretty regional film, and could be more appreciated by Scandinavian people as one could tell by reading the reviews here.
I kind of like it actually, though I know that that I've missed many points throughout the movie. I've watched it because I love the soundtrack, and I knew it many years before I even knew that there's actually a movie, but nothing could prepare me to the weirdness experience that is in it. Judging by the cover (of the soundtrack) and the music itself, I thought that I was about to watch something completely different.
Anyway, I think that Svidd Neger has its value (even though most people, like myself, will experience a lack comprehension about what's going on almost the entire movie) mainly because it is rich in cultural values, stereotypes and even a sense of humor that I've never being in touch with, and I guess that for that reasons only, it can please some audiences.

you shouldn't really see this one.
It's weird, maybe the weirdest ever to be made in Norway. But it got humour, edge, unique characters and many suprises (and a bunch of postmodern surrealism). You can never tell what happens next in this movie.
It is not the best movie I've seen this year, but it is absolutely a movie you'll remember. Kinda how The Evil Dead (1982) would look like if David Lynch and Stanley Kubrick had directed it.
If you want to see someone from the north of Norway behave silly you should really see this movie. I'll give it an eight.

Imagine Jim Jarmusch getting unavoidably sick with the US and decide to go on a health trip to Norway to get the good old creative juices going full throttle again. There he hooks up with the derelict leftovers of a pageant that marauded the crisp Norwegian landscape and take shelter in two tattered cottages on opposing hillsides. Whiskey galores, insanity reigns supreme and they don't even use chemicals. Their animosity towards each other takes surprising turns as the story unfolds. The characters are deliciously unhinged and we will leave them as a complete surprise for you to discover. Pink-tinted shots of tiny fjords accompanied by a score uncannily reminiscent of Dead Man or Paris, Texas coupled with raw hillbilly debauchery make up for a strange, surreal combination indeed. Comparisons with other masterpieces of the scurrilous are out of place. This is a movie of effortless originality, tragicomic and aesthetically accomplished. Only for the daring moviegoer.
