Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The film is set in North-Eastern Sweden, where people commonly speak both Swedish and Finnish. However, when Reza Bagher was chosen to direct this film, he first decided that the film should include only Swedish language dialog. After few days at location in Pajala, he changed his mind and agreed that it wouldn't be authentic to omit Finnish completely. more

While this movie is trying to be as funny in a grotesque way as "In China they eat dogs" and to express the desperation of "Noi Albinoi" at the same time, it fails to do so in both. I haven't read the book yet, but if the movie is as close to the book as the reviewers say, it's not worth the while either:

Shallow characters, loose story, no real message, no scenery, no cool soundtrack(opposed to what you might expect from the title,),as hard as i try, i just can't find any reason to recommend this movie. It will always remain a miracle to me, how some movies manage to get a "hype up" for nothing. If u want to see a good movie from "up there", try one of the two mentioned above instead and save the money.
