I think it was Norwegian:

Great writing, classic fore shadowing, a bit of the latest ultra catharepulsiviolence, and suspense to the very end.
 
 

Yup! That's Norwegian and the book is written by a Norwegian author who is really successful. Interestingly, people say the movie is as good as the book. I still haven't read the book or seen the movie but I'm seeing the author live on Thursday if that day go according to plan.

:-)

If you get a chance to, please let him know that you saw that a binary entity from Tallahassee Florida claims to have stumbled on it via Netflix and has commented that it seems like a great movie and entertaining story... and my wife thought so too and commented about how rare it is to find a film that warrants a viewers' attention.

:-)

He he, if I do go I definitely will Mike. It's a meet and greet kind of thing so chances are there - if I manage to keepmy schedule clear for once. 

Glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps I should watch it soon too. 

I saw it in a theater and liked it a lot.  I even bought the DVD when it came out a few weeks ago.  

Here's one that I thought was worth reading the subtitles on.

Pan's Labyrinth

Are there any Harry Hole films yet ? They are great books by the same author.

Sounds like some bad porn...

The subtitles...oh yeah...
It's something we movie lovers discuss so often here, where all foreign films are with subtitles, and we can not understand nor accept that somebody would overdub, say, Marilyn Monroes or Marlon Brandos voice.
How can you have a fan club for an actor you've never heard acting????

You get used to subtitles very quickly. The worst crime is only one person reading all the dialogue, like in a narrative way. It's still quite common in the world.

They make really good films in Denmark, Sweden and Norway nowadays. Somehow the Finnish production is still struggling to find its direction out from introvert, depressed athmospheres to something that is easier to sell. And of course - those others have about ten times more money :o/ The success has encouraged the financers (and they have the oil and fish).

Hey Kalle - this film is from Finland, right? One of my all time favorite movies from our part of the world.

As for subtitling - I'm all for it! It's a little hypocritical to say since I actually work with dubbing - but I have actually never liked to watch dubbed movies - there ya go, more hypocrisy. Subtitling is great and if you don't want to see movies where they don't speak your language, then don't. However, like Kalle says, you get used to subtitles quite easy then you can just sit back and enjoy a myriad of movies while even geting used to hearing a new language. The main reason that we are relatively good in English over here is because most of our entertainment is in English - everything from music to movies - and that keeps us in the loop. I'd hate to see that go away.

IMHO - Norway have only made a handful of good movies and truckloads of crapy ones. Denmark have made shedloads of excellent movies and Sweden is right up there. Finland, I have to admit I haven't seen too many movies from Finland. But Rare Exports is awesome!

Jerry - they are talking about making Harry Hole movies but not sure what's happening. Jo Nesbø doesn't want to let any guy in a directors chair make movies out of his books. Apparently Martin Scorsese will make the Hollywood re-make of "Headhunters". Who knows what will happen from there
