Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.95
J'ai adoré ce film. Tout en étant humoristique, il explique les réalités de la recherche de terrain. Je conseille ce film à tous ceux qui planifient utiliser l'observation dans leurs travaux de recherche. Bon visionnement!

2.Hour of the Wolf starring: Max von Sydow, Liv Ullmann, Gertrud Fridh, Georg Rydeberg, Erland Josephson directed by: Ingmar Bergman October 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $2.31
Vargtimmen (Hour Of The Wolf), a 1968 film by Ingmar Bergman, proves the nostrum that even lesser work by a great artist, surpasses the better work of lesser artists, for Bergman can get more from the prosaic, or even nothing, than almost any other director. Almost all the creepiness that a viewer feels watching this film comes from scenes, that in other circumstances, would be banal, even dull. The whole film is a series of small moments, incomplete scenes that fade out, and some blackout sketches, often framed by weird angles and compositions. Ostensibly a meditation on the trite `madness of an artist' theme, with overtones of sexual baseness and vampirism, real and psychic, the film overcomes its horror roots with superb technical screen composition, and a bevy of other cinematic trickery that shows ...

3.Kristin Lavransdatter starring: Linus Aaberg, Gisken Armand, Berard Arnø, Bernhard Arnø, Peter Baden directed by: Liv Ullmann June 13, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.99
Knowing that it would be impossible to contain any of the drama of an epic like KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER in one DVD, I didn't expect a lot from this offering. I bought this item out of curiosity. I am sure that Norwegian, Liv Ullman, understands the characters better than I do, even though I've read the book 4 times in 40 years...and made pilgrimages to the book's locations....but, the casting was terrible...come on!! Erlend had gold teeth in the 13th century?

4.Mendel starring: Thomas Jüngling Sørensen, Teresa Harder, Hans Kremer, Martin Meingast, Bjørn Sundquist directed by: Alexander Røsler March 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.55
Mendel is a young Jewish boy growing up after the war. His parents have secrets and his dad and older brother have nightmares and scream in the night. Still, when Mendel asks, nobody wants to tell him much. Mendel asks about the number tattoos some of the adults have on their arms, and he asks if he will get one too when he grows up. He also wonders why his dad is so upset about the Germans, and why some of the adults do not like Santa Claus and Christmas carols. And then there are the conversations that end and the photos that are hidden every time Mendel approaches. The young boy has many questions, that the adults are reluctant to answer. His parents and another Jewish couple show strong emotions to some of the things he does; like when Mendel and a friend draw numbers on their arms, so they can be the ... Read More

5.Insomnia starring: Stellan Skarsgård, Maria Mathiesen, Sverre Anker Ousdal, Gisken Armand, Kristian Figenschow directed by: Erik Skjoldbjærg June 06, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $1.78
A Nordic thriller, this bleak but beautiful film is meticulously constructed. It tells of a cop who mistakenly shoots a man, then tries to cover it up, only to have his acts slowly unravel as his colleagues look for clues and they all seem to point to him. He's guilty, so he can't sleep. Thus the title. Nice twist at the ending, too. Watch it.

6.Hunger starring: Per Oscarsson, Gunnel Lindblom, Birgitte Federspiel, Knud Rex, Hans W. Petersen directed by: Henning Carlsen November 11, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.77
This movie follows the book very closely. It really makes you feel this characters hunger not only for food, but for freedom of the human spirit and mind.

7.Zero Kelvin starring: Stellan Skarsgård, Gard B. Eidsvold, Bjørn Sundquist, Camilla Martens, Paul-Ottar Haga directed by: Hans Petter Moland June 27, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $10.74
This was depressing and confusing and utterly unredeeming. And those are its good qualities. The first half hour shows promise; the rest of the movie fails to deliver anything but...depression and confusion, and again, there is nothing, no character, nothing, that is in any way redeeming. Utterly bleak. And did I mention confusing? You get the idea.

8.Cross My Heart and Hope to Die starring: Martin Dahl Garfalk, Trond Halbo, Jan Devo Kornstad, Kjersti Holmen, Reidar Sørensen directed by: Marius Holst April 29, 2003

This is a remarkable film with amazing acting and a compelling story line. The scene with the piano tuner is hysterically funny. There is a very nice balance between the darkness and joys of life. The ending of the film shows the need for personal freedom that we all seek.

10.Elling (2001) (Sub) starring: Per Christian Ellefsen, Sven Nordin, Marit Pia Jacobsen, Jørgen Langhelle, Per Christensen directed by: Petter Næss November 19, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.94
"Elling" is another brilliant film I discovered in the ranks of movies nominated for the Oscar for Best Freign Language film. This one is very good and we catch on quickly that it is a comedy. The initial conversation between two new roommates in a mental hospital tells us that we are going to enjoy following these characters. The film's possibilities expand when the two roommates are moved to a subsidized apartment in Oslo. They have a fairly streetwise social worker who looks after them from time to time but Elling and his roommate are pretty much on their own. The paranoia and inappropriate conversations all create a wide range of comic situations. However, the real source of comic endearment is that these two characters are the Norwegian version of Felix and Oscar from "The Odd Couple". They are exact opposites having to live ... Read More
