Mot naturen (2014).mkv

Depiction of middle-age and first-world anxieties. Martin is clearly out of place both in his office, and at home with his wife and son. As he embarks on a trek searching for solace in the stunning Norwegian wilderness, he can't seem to find peace: his incessant stream of thoughts are endlessly commenting and fantasising about disturbing what ifs: what if he got a divorce? What if his wife died? What if he were a cripple? As the day stretches on, Martin prepares for a drastic change of pace amidst the wildlife in what is both a considered and consistently humorous portrayal of how easy it is to feel alienated in a very stable life.

This is Ole Giæver's film. He has written it, produced it and is playing Martin in the main role. Often you can say that this isn't a very good idea, doing all this, but this film functions well. It's also been very much appreciated by both critics and cinema goers in Norway. The film premiered at TIFF in Toronto, where it got much acclaim. So it did at the Berlin Film Festival. Later on Ole Giæver won the prize for best male actor in Tromsø International Fim Festival, the Kanon-prize.

The film is also a nature-appreciation film. With nature in the area around Tromsø in the North of Norway. This film is a result of the growing film milieu in this area, and shows a innovative approach. The film is surprisingly interesting and grabs you more than you would expect. A good watch for the mind.(IMDB)
