I feel as if the people living in Norway are merely a bunch of anti-social folks who may be living in touch with nature, but who are totally screwed socially. Elling seems to give you the idea. Nevertheless, it is a great social comedy which – I don’t know why – reminded me of The Art of Negative Thinking. Fun, great actors, funny situations. In total, it is a lovable Norwegian surprise and probably one of the legendary comedies in Norway.
