ABERDEEN (Norway/UK 2001) Great movie! Stellan Skarsgård plays the alchoholist father to Kajsa (Jane Headley) , they travel from norway (stellan is a oil rig worker just as in Breaking The Waves here to) to aberdeen to visit the mother who is dying of cancer. It's a road movie and not a pretty one. The drunk father pukes and pee his pants etc and constantly gets into trouble. The messed up daughter who is a successfull buisness woman on the outside has both emotional and cocain problems. Naked realism and incredible performances from the brilliant actors ,Stellan for example is drunk in 95% of the movie. In all the shit there is some warmth betwen the two. To quote the mother "Ugly can be pretty too" Directed by norwegian Hans Petter Moland who also made excelent Zero Kelvin (also staring Stellan) My new favorite director! I highly recomend it! It gets five (7\) out of five possible! =) (7\) (7\) (7\) (7\) (7\) |

Sounds like a right barrel of laughs. ;) |

It is actualy! , you would think this kind of realism would be depressing to watch but its very fashinating and there are some funny parts. |
||||||||
|
|

|
I'll look out for it. I do like "real" films that aren't just an exersize in moneymaking. |
||||||||

Sido is right. it's a very good movie, with Stellan Skarsgård at his best. Amazing actor. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Yup! my favorite actor! And im not just saying that because he is swedish, he truly is an amazing actor! =) Heard rumors that he will be in the new Excorsist movie , its a prequel and he will be playing the priest when he was younger and first encountered satan. I wish he wouldn't do more hollywood crap...but Excorsist is alright i guess...or i hope so. |

hmm i misspelled Exorcist twice now didn't i ? hehe! |

:) Stellan is cool as fuck. there are a few great nordic actors, have you seen Bjorn Sundquist (norwegian)? Top actor! Kim Bodnia is brilliant too.... yeah, i heard Stellan is playing in the prequel...it was supposed to be Liam Neeson but that didn't turn out.. hope it'll be an more than ok.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah Kim Bodnia is hardcore! Looking forward to that new action comedy (don't remember the name) saw a review on a movie show and it looks crazy! Bjorn Sundquist , the name didn't ring a bell so i did a google search and it turns out he is the big bald scientist Holm in Zero Kelvin =) What else has he done? Anything you recomend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Bjørn Sundquist has played in "Amatørene" and "Dykket". I recommend both of them!! i don't know why i like him so much, but i think it's his dialect. I'm from northern Norway and he's too. He swears a lot, i swear a lot. And his acting is razorsharp! |

i'll have to check Aberdeen out. You guys are so right about Stellan Skarsgård, he's an amazing actor. He's great in Insomnia(Norwegian version), which is one of my favorite movies. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would like to see Insomnia and i think geir jenssen did music for this film must be good... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Insomnia is great. I haven't seen the American version, but i heard it was good. And yes, Geir Jensen made the music for Insomnia :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where did you see insomnia with Stellan Skarsgård ? i have not seen it come to the US. i saw the US version with r. williams and a. pacino |
||||||||

LeCoeur: i saw it on IFC about year ago, and bought the dvd soon after! i liked the american version, but this one is better in my opinion. |
||||||||
|

|
|
On IFC I saw "I shot Andy Warhol" and "SLCpunks" Both those movies were freaking awesome |
||||||||
|

As a resident of Aberdeen, I can only say that any film featuring this disgusting granite city is probably bleak and depressing. I can only thank Allah that I shall be leaving it soon (unless it kills me) |
||||||||
|

|
|
That IFC channel sounds great! Wish i had that one. |

a friend of mine recommended "Cube". Anyone seen it? Is it good? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its not too good see it if you dont have anything better to do hehe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i just saw aberdeen, loved it, really emotional, stellan skarsgard is great as usual, lena headey-i think this is the first film i saw her in and she is really good aswell i'll definitely watch this film again |
||||||||

TEH HOT CHICK IS AWESOME 37 THUMBS UP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought CUBE was pretty interesting and original. i was never bored, and had no idea what the end would bring. it's not a fantastic movie but it's entertaining and never boring. IMO |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i share that opinion about cube, but the thing is when you see movies like-for example aberdeen, cube really isnt that good but its not boring neither |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I liked Cube alot... up on until they part where everything was explained... :-/ Hm... they should have kept it a mystery what the cube actually was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Hans Petter Moland is now directing a movie called "Beautiful Country". Casting includes Nick Nolte and Tim Roth. Should be interesting =) Story takes place in vietnam and usa i think , its about some boy called Binh finding his father ? (i read from some norwegian site so i didn't get it all) Another amazing road movie like Aberdeen ? I hope so!! Hans Petter Moland is soo talented! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a mystery? no they should always explain something, or give some kind of clues about it... But sure, they could have gone with a better story... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohhhhhh TIM ROTH is bad arse!! we want more SIDO movie tips!! also have you and raimons been to interesting exhibits in stockholm???? |
