A Somewhat Gentle Man
A Somewhat Gentle Man   [trailer]
Ulrik's released from prison after 12 years for murder. He gets a room and a job as mechanic. He hooks up with his old gang. Will he go straight?
Characters don't get a lot more stoic than Ulrik. And he apparently has quite the effect on women. The sex scenes are ... very memorable.
Moments of dark humour help preventing the drama from becoming too serious.
It's always a pleasure seeing an internationally successful actor, who also has a Hollywood career, perform in his home country, reminding viewers he has a much broader range.

A Somewhat Gentle Man
New Post has been published on https://wr1tepress.com/a-somewhat-gentle-man/
A Somewhat Gentle Man
It takes a while for this upcoming movie to really get moving, not unlike its depressed antihero. For a while the audience is not going to care about Ulrick, played by Stellan Skarsgard, a middle-aged guy who happens to be a murderer who just got out of jail. Hes thick, steady, steady, quiet and sports a ponytail. In this new movie release Ulricks boss expects him to kill the guy who was responsible for his jail time. Ulrick says that there wont be any more violence in his life, or at least thats what he thinks.
This Norwegian offering to this years group of new movies is actually a very deadpan gangster comedy.
Its about a couple of old guys who are working in a young mans world.
All of Ulricks old friends seem to have succumbed to diabetes, stroke and colostomy.
Patsy Clines music adds to the sad feeling of this new movie.
Skarsgard walks around with a pained expression.
Hes surrounded by brutal women and silly men, all with stringy hair, dead skin and style that rivals that of people living in a homeless shelter.
Ulrik takes a job as an auto mechanic and loves steamed cod and sex with his landlady, played by Jorunn Kjellsby. There isnt much conversation between them. Instead they watch the Polish âDancing with the Starâ on TV.
Something about Ulriks attempt to get his life back slowly grows on you. Director Hans Petter Moland has Ulrik reaching out to his son, played by Jan Gunnar Roise, and a fragile colleague, played by Jannike Kruse, and he seems to warm up and come back to life as we watch. At the movies finale, Ulrik finally lights up with an enormous smile and the audience will realize that this is the moment theyve been hoping for.

  âHjemsøktâ ou âLâEnfant du PassĂŠ pour la distribution française est un film dâhorreur dramatique norvĂŠgien datant de 2017 rĂŠalisĂŠ par Carl Christian Raabe. Les acteurs norvĂŠgiens nous sont tous inconnus, en dehors de Synnøve Macody Lund quâon a pu voir dans âHeadhuntersâ (2011).
Lâhistoire proposĂŠe par âHjemsøktâ nous invite Ă suivre Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund) qui vient dâhĂŠriter de la propriĂŠtĂŠ familiale suite au dĂŠcès de son père. La maison est isolĂŠe dans une rĂŠgion reculĂŠe de la Norvège, et Diana nâest guère intĂŠressĂŠe Ă lâidĂŠe de devoir garder cette demeure dont elle nâa que de lointains souvenirs. Elle dĂŠcide de se rendre sur place pour la vendre. Dès lors quâelle se retrouve Ă lâintĂŠrieur de la maison, des souvenirs lui reviennent progressivement en mĂŠmoire. En outre, des bruits ĂŠtranges laissent Ă penser que la demeure est hantĂŠe. En outre, une petite fille ĂŠtrange, rĂŠpondant au prĂŠnom de Daisy (Ebba Steenstrup SĂĽheim) rĂ´de autour de la maison. Le compagnon de Diana, Marcus (Ken Vedsegaard) sâinquiète pour sa part de lâattitude insolite de sa partenaire.
Le cĂ´tĂŠ horrifique du mĂŠtrage est vraiment très light. Pas de jump-scare, pas vraiment de frayeur, tout juste une tension que lâon pourrait plutĂ´t qualifier de mystĂŠrieuse. En dâautres termes, âHjemsøktâ ne fait pas vraiment peur. Les moments de frissonnement sont très classiques. Des bruits dans les pièces satellites oĂš le personnage principal se trouve. Des ombres qui passent furtivement et rapidement en contre-champs. On comprend assez rapidement quâon se trouve en prĂŠsence dâun fantĂ´me. Ce dernier apparaĂŽt comme bienveillant, ne cherchant quâĂ faire dĂŠcouvrir la vĂŠritĂŠ sur une ancienne disparition.
Dans une certaine mesure, âHjemsøktâ peut faire penser Ă âThe Boyâ (2016) de William Brent Bell, ainsi quâĂ âThe Uninvitedâ (2009) de Charles Guard. En effet, on peut facilement prendre conscience, au fur et Ă mesure du dĂŠveloppement, que le personnage central se trouve dans une situation dâhallucinations. LâĂŠpilogue venant dâailleurs confirmer cela de manière catĂŠgorique. Il nây a donc pas de surprise dans le scĂŠnario de Maja Lunde. La photographie de Philip Ăgaard est très sympathique, mettant en avant lâaspect hivernal de lâenvironnement oĂš se dĂŠroule le rĂŠcit du film. Les 81 minutes permettent dâavoir un mĂŠtrage très resserrĂŠ sans temps mort, sans fioritures.
Du cĂ´tĂŠ de la distribution, on peut affirmer que le mĂŠtrage repose essentiellement sur les ĂŠpaules de Synnøve Macody Lund, qui, sous ses faux airs de Charlize Theron, laisse apparaĂŽtre un personnage qui progressivement bascule dans une forme de dĂŠmence. On peut, une nouvelle fois, saluer la performance dâune jeune actrice, qui offre un personnage ĂŠnigmatique. En effet, la jeune Ebba Steenstrup SĂĽheim livre une superbe prestation, pleine de mystère, de silence, et de dialogues ĂŠnigmatiques qui viennent renforcer lâĂŠnigme qui entoure cette demeure. Enfin, citons encore Ken Vedsegaard, qui offre un personnage de soutien convenable dans le rĂ´le du boy-friend bienveillant mais maladroit.
En conclusion, âHjemsøktâ est un film mystĂŠrieux correct disposant dâune histoire trop classique pour se dĂŠmarquer dans le genre et dâun dĂŠveloppement familier. Le rythme est cohĂŠrent avec la trame, la photographie est très agrĂŠable et la distribution offre de bonnes prestations, dominĂŠe par les performances des deux actrices principales. Un mĂŠtrage qui manque dâoriginalitĂŠ pour quâon puisse le recommander, mais qui reste agrĂŠable Ă regarder.

A Somewhat Gentle Man ****
Some of my best friends are Norwegian, as they say, but I wouldnât want to be Norwegian myself. As Krundt has mentioned before, this is a people that, however handsome, robust, and candid, suffers a certain malaise. Norwegians may perhaps tend to be ever so slightly repressed, and like all Scandinavian peoples, theyâre also a bit warped. Rarely, as we know, this leads to horrific violence. The rest of the time, it makes for wonderful people and wonderful stories, such as Hans Petter Moland's âA Somewhat Gentle Man,â which you should see right away. (Itâs available on Netflix streaming video.)
Youâll get the idea the instant you see the peerless Stellan SkarsgĂĽrd, playing a murderer released after 18 years in the slammer, on the dance floor or performing the funniest sex scenes in movie history with the canny Jorunn Kjellsby. She ingeniously portrays a widowed landlady who is deeply frustrated despite the simplicity of her needs, somehow evoking witches and trolls while reminding you of yourself.
The well-titled âA Somewhat Gentle Manâ is a find, that rare, perfect little movie that youâd never heardof. Donât expect too much: This is no more than a good story, nicely conceived, well told, efficiently visualized, artfully acted. Made in the U.S., a picture like this would be a gold mine of Oscars and the stuff of competitive dinner-party chat, but since itâs subtitled and in Norwegian, "Gentle Man" is just a fine film that too few people have seen.
Upon his release from jail, SkarsgĂĽrdâs Ulrik, foolishly pony-tailed in middle age, faces a dilemma. His boss, Rune, a minor criminal potentate cleverly played by Bjørn Floberg, expects Ulrik to do the right thing: kill the guy who had snitched on him.
Problem is, Ulrick has changed over the years. Heâs no longer a mindless thug, but a fellow with a live spark in him, a person acquiring a rudimentary awareness of what human life might be. Exploring himself while living in a basement and working in a garage, he discovers the impulse of compassion, balm for the itch on his trigger finger. Â
Rune, by contrast, having missed the rich contemplations of prison life, having lost both market share and prestige to fierce Baltic rivals over the years, anxiously insists on dramatic public demonstrations of ruthless criminal resolve. You get the feeling that if Ulrik doesnât do the deed, it may be done to him.
Add in several women, a comic flunky, an estranged adult son, and a tightly-constrained setting. You get what youâve always wanted: a perfectly enjoyable Norwegian movie.
After delighting in this one, you may want to see "O'Horten" next.
