I learned about this movie when checking the new releases of my favorite band, ULVER, who did the great score to this movie. When I learned, what "Svidd Neger" really means and that the movie was reported to the European Court of Human Rights in Hague, I imagined it would be some sort of shocking drama.

Nah...it's a comedy, or at least sort of!

It's hard to describe, what the movie is about at all, but a main topic are racial conflicts in Norway. The Characters are fairly strange, we have Karl, who is the king of his 10 acre fjord property and always dreams about his murdered wife. Anna, Karls daughter, who should have been a boy instead, likes to sing real tearjerker songs and is about to marry the next "prince" that drops in. On the other side of the fjord live Ante, a black who believes he's a mysterious "Sea Saami", his stepbrother Peder, who wanks till ...(you'll see), and their mother Ellen. In addition a Saami by the name of "Normann Hætta Bongo Utsi Saus" strikes a camp nearby. He's a real Peeping Tom and constantly gets calls from his mom. In the end, there's the black commander of some American Nato troops, who is desperately in need of a son.

So 1 1/2 hours full of promiscuity, gore and explosions unfold(actually the explosions are the highlights of this movie, always interesting to see, WHAT things are able to explode :) ).

The movie scores with both great soundtrack and the beautiful Norwegian landscapes. Yet the cut was done very roughly and the transitions between the scenes are lacking or poorly.

If you like mind-twisting avant-garde trash, you shouldn't miss this movie!
