    Hilarious!

    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.

    A strange, but great movie

    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.

    Sickest movie out of Norway yet?

    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.

    a true gem

    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.

    A group of people in a farm in Norway does the sickest things you can only imagine.

    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!
