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.

Svidd Neger aka Burned Negro is one flick I was pretty amped to check out.
When someone refers to it as somewhat like Pink Flamingos, and then mixed with that pretty damn un-pc title, it's almost must-see viewing. Well, I watched it, and I'm not sure how Pink Flamingo-y it is, but damn, this was a really good flick.
Story revolves around a drunk as hell, apparition seeing Dad and his daughter living alone in the north regions of Norway. Not far away and unbeknownst to the Dad and Daughter, there is another family with a mother, horny and fat son (who looks just like Francis in Pee Wee's Big Adventure), and adopted black son who all seem to live together in a not-so peaceful type way. Throw in a young man who's trying to escape his Saami ways, and you have a mish mash of personalities that result in all types of drama and humor.
This is a very, very good black comedy. It's been probably since Taxidermia that I've watched such black comedy in a flick.
The drunk Dad is a stand-out when he's seeing the ghosts. Usually a person would be terrified of a ghost, but not this guy. He gets angry, and it's really funny stuff. Throw in very good acting from all the actors, very silly moments, and some nudity and you've already got the ingredients for a very entertaining flick.
Svidd Neger, is a flick for definitely fans of foreign flicks like Taxidermia. And if you're a fan of black comedy mixed with bizarre silly humor, then you should be pleased as well.
I didn't know Norway had this type of cinema in them, but I'm very pleased to have found out. I knew about The Dudesons, but they may be Finnish....nevertheless our brothers to the way North have got some serious talent.

I learned about this movie when checking the new releases of my favorite band, ULVER, who did the great score to this movie. When I learned, what "Svidd Neger" really means and that the movie was reported to the European Court of Human Rights in Hague, I imagined it would be some sort of shocking drama.
Nah...it's a comedy, or at least sort of!
It's hard to describe, what the movie is about at all, but a main topic are racial conflicts in Norway. The Characters are fairly strange, we have Karl, who is the king of his 10 acre fjord property and always dreams about his murdered wife. Anna, Karls daughter, who should have been a boy instead, likes to sing real tearjerker songs and is about to marry the next "prince" that drops in. On the other side of the fjord live Ante, a black who believes he's a mysterious "Sea Saami", his stepbrother Peder, who wanks till ...(you'll see), and their mother Ellen. In addition a Saami by the name of "Normann Hætta Bongo Utsi Saus" strikes a camp nearby. He's a real Peeping Tom and constantly gets calls from his mom. In the end, there's the black commander of some American Nato troops, who is desperately in need of a son.
So 1 1/2 hours full of promiscuity, gore and explosions unfold(actually the explosions are the highlights of this movie, always interesting to see, WHAT things are able to explode :) ).
The movie scores with both great soundtrack and the beautiful Norwegian landscapes. Yet the cut was done very roughly and the transitions between the scenes are lacking or poorly.
If you like mind-twisting avant-garde trash, you shouldn't miss this movie!

This is with out a doubt the sickest norwegian movie I`ve EVER seen. I mean that in a good way. This movie have a twisted sense of humor, and I love it!
A group of people in a farm in Norway does the sickest things you can only imagine. - One guy cuts one of his own fingers of. - A girl gives birth in the woods. - A negrow eats mushrooms every day.
You can't miss this one. If you have a twisted sense of humor, this is the movie for you!

Svidd Neger which means "Burnt Negro" caused a lot of controversy even before it was even seen, because of the name,
and was accused to racist. The finished product had no sign of racism in it though, but it
would upset people never the less. Or maybe not.. whatever is
going on in this movie is too bloody weird to get provoked by.
Or maybe it is. People react differently to things don't they?
Beautiful thing that.
One thing that is sure about the norwegian movie business is that
its probably going the right way, when crazy stuff like this gets
financed. This is no average norwegian movie at all. Still its
probably one of the best movies from Norway I've seen..
I know a lot of movies called "sick", but few movies that deserves it
as much as Svidd Neger. Its not a movie to view with your parents
probably, that for sure. It has a lot of really sick humor.
The story is set on a farm, and another farm.. and no person in this
movie is sane. Except for the girl to some extent.
I see a lot of people is comparing this to stuff David Lynch has
directed. Mmm. Not quite. Its much more silly and crazy.. and its
not an art-movie either. Its better to compare it to Lars Von Trier's
"The Idiots". Much better. Its a good picture though, and even if a more crazy ending would
have suited it its a brilliant movie! I gave it an 8/10 myself.
