10 Contemporary Films from Norway : Sons of Norway/ Sønner av Norge) 2011

Sandro Forte for Cinetalk.net

Another interesting human study by Jens Lien  the director of Bothersome Man.

At the end of the 70’s Nikolai, the son of a free spirited hippie architect, discovers punk music as a way to the exception in a community of conformity.

A hippy-anarchist comedy, joyfully irreverent, while turning corners a bit too much in its depiction of secondary characters and situations, Sons of Norway sets on an unusual tender depiction of a father-son relationship, which is its central focus. Acting and spirit are good.

Note Sex Pistol’s Johnny Lydon’s Cameo.
