Hawaii, Oslo

When I stayed in Oslo, I bought some DVDs of Norwegian films. This is one of them. In fact, I'd known this film, since Styleboost introduced, in September 2004, the film's official website as a masterpiece. Although I didn't understand Norwegian, the site featuring kaleidoscopic visuals was convincing and impressive. Since then, I'd been thinking of buying it if I had a chance to go to Norway. And finally I've got it.

I'm not going to write in detail and don't have skills of writing reviews. But briefly. The set is in Oslo, where various characters lead their lives. They are not directly related each other at first, but they are mutually interrelated in the end of the film.

At the beginning, I found the film a bit slow and a story line complicated. But as the drama unfolded, I got into it. It was fantastic.

The film is directed by Norwegian Erik Poppe.
