Norske Filmer?

[Dreadhead]

Wonder if any of our Norwegian members could help me out? iv been learning norwegian for quite a while now and to help with my learning i listen to as much norsk radio as i can and try and get as many films as possible as the audio with subtitles works a treat.

some norske films i can remember off the top of my head... Trolljegeren, Elling, Dod Sno, Let the right one in, severed ways, flame & citron, max manus, ofelas, hodejegerne, svidd neger, sykt lykkelig, the thing (original and new version both have some norsk), en ganske snill mann.

anybody got any other good norwegian movies? stops me mumbling to myself all day

also like my swedish or finnish movies 'rare exports' comes to mind as a favourite. however it just complicates things more!

takk for hjelpen

Being Danish, i feel i should inform you that Flammen & Citronen is actually a Danish movie. My brother, who moved to Oslo did the editing on Sykt lykkelig. Unfortunately I am not into movies, so I am having a hard time recommending you some.

My recommendations, although not Norwegian, are:

Kunsten at græde i kor (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0495040/),
Idioterne (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154421/)

Anything by Lars von Trier is ... at least worth a look. He is a very very disturbed man, and it is not all in Danish, but at least you know you have watched a movie and not wasted your time.

Be worth following the newspaper film reviews to build up a list of Norwegian movies worth watching

I've started learning Norwegian too so can I suggest having a look at Lars Monsen on YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?playne...layList&v=CQMHKWfnDzo&list=PLBB09361AAF4C8199

It's also not a bad idea having a watch at English language films on DVD that have Norwegian subtitles, you can sometimes pick up good phrases that way

braw, do your family & friends get annoyed with you mumbling in norsk all day too? good idea about the norsk subs on english movies. the thing with norwegian movies is i think different dialects and things can make it pretty complicated whilst your trying tae match up the different meanings between whats heard and whats read

Nice project to be learning Norwegian. I've had an ongoing learning Swedish project for a few years, which plus having been to Norway a few times, means I can understand quite a lot of Norwegian.
As far as films go, have you seen Troll Hunter which someone posted on here a couple of months ago?...

By the way Let The Right One In is Swedish.

Nei, they probably think I'm senile anyway!

The dialects idea is an interesting one although I'd prefer to get Bokmål in my head first before tackiling anything else. Again Youtube is worth having a look at for that one

I don`t watch norwegian films very often. IMO it is mostly "social realistic" cr*p with no entertainment value.
But a few tiltles comes to mind; Orions belte, Blucher and Insomnia.

davidjt: aye i listed trolljegeren in my OP tis a braw film

Paul72: aye its bokmal im learning. i just meant its difficult using movies as an aid as i think some can be in diff dialects which throws me off but still good fun

Tor: You are of course correct, but there are some gems among the norwegian movie industry!

The most famous Norwegian film is 'Flåklypa Grand Prix'.

"...anybody got any other good norwegian movies?...also like my swedish or finnish movies..."

Kautokeino-opprøret (The Kautokeino Rebellion).

Kukushka (The Cuckoo) Which is in Finnish, Sami and Russian.

 

[Dreadhead]

i forgot about this thread!

kukushka is a great movie i have seen it before but re-watched it today it has some great moments in it! Rare exports is my favourite finnish movie though

i will search for The Kautokeino Rebellion when im on a decent internet connection thanks!

 

[DavidJT]

You've probably watch Lars Monsen's adventures on YouTube...

[Dreadhead]

yeah Lars is quality stuff

I think that Død Snø might have been in part inspired by Rød Snø.

IMDB also has a list of films from Norway.
