Svidd neger

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.

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.

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 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.

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!
