52. In Order of Disappearance

Wed Jul 4, 2018, 09:49 PM

Jul 2018

Set in Norway, considered a "dark comedy" rather than straight out comedy. It's things like the contrast between the Norwegian crime gang and Serbian gang that will make you smile with appreciation. And the scenery is beautiful. Unique and memorable movie.

One thing - do NOT watch the dubbed version! I watched the original Norwegian version with subtitles on Netflix a few years ago. I just checked Netflix now and it's an overdubbed version. I checked some of it out and it's terrible. Completely destroys the atmosphere of the movie.

Amazon has the original version with subtitles.
