Movie Review: If Only All Movies Were This Surprising and Original
Summary: 5 Stars
Nothing beats the thrill of sitting down to a surprising and original movie. Add to that much laughter and warm characters...and a beautiful setting, and you have "Kitchen Stories."
I don't know who thought up this story, but I'll tip my cap to those who did. And before I let go of its bill let me tip it, again, to the director and actors who sold that story to us so quietly and earnestly that it felt as though we peered in at them from the ladder outside the window, or overheard them through the drill hole, or witnessed their conversation from the tall chair.
Movie comedy is rarely so quiet and underplayed. Heck, it's rarely even this funny. This is a little film that grows on you.
Movie Review: quiet but funny film
Summary: 5 Stars
Not all humor has to be slapstick. This quiet little Scandinavian film tells a simple story of small-town people doing little things, but if you are open to this type of story, you will be happily entertained.
Folke is an observer for a study that will ultimately be used to design efficient kitchens. He sits in an odd chair not unlike that of a tennis umpire, taking notes about his observee, the unwilling, cantankerous Isak. Isak pulls lots of tricks to get Folke's goat, but Folke seems as unflappable as Isak is intractable -- at least until the incident of the egg.
This is a charming, quiet film. The only extra is the trailer. Subtitled in English.
Movie Review: Kitchen Stories (2003)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not often tagged as gay movie, since, it's true, there is no "sex" between Isak and Folke, but I think that there is indeed a love story, even if maybe it has more a friend than a sex development. But the concept of two men who are forbidden to have a relationship, one of them has to observe the other without interfere, the other starts to feel something for his unwelcomed "guest", the jealousy of the neighboor who sees the new arrival as someone who will intrude in the exclusive relationship he has with Isak... all of it for me is symbolism of a love relationship that do not dare to speak its name.Movie Review: Absolutely loved this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Being of Scandinavian background, this movie is incredibly good. The idea of Swedes studying the kitchen movements of Norwegian bachelor farmers is hysterical in concept and this movie pulls it off in spades. This is one of those movies that drags you in and completely overtakes you. Loved the deadpan humour and the character development. If you enjoy car crashes and shoot-em-ups, this is not your movie, but if you enjoy character development and situational comedy, this is your movie. Watch it and enjoy. One of our favorite movies of all time.Movie Review: Best film of 2004
Summary: 5 Stars
I am getting this soon. I don't care if the year is not yet over for films. I don't care if the Aviator comes out, or how good Hotel Rwanda was when I saw a screening of it. THIS FILM IS A PURE GEM!!!
I have never seen anything so incredibly heart warming, hillarious, brave and ingeniously put together as this tale of Norwegian kitchen scientists who study "subjects" in their native habitat in the rurals.
Such a great film, and the best I ever saw this year. SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT!!
