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.

"O cidadão do ano" (Kraftidioten) - mubi.

O mubi colocou esse filme como destaque ontem. Procurando algo mais leve e engraçado, a comparação do "Fargo" dos Coen chamou atenção. Também o calor do verão poderia ser aplacado em parte pela neve na tela. Filme foi refilmado nos EUA com Liam Neesson no papel principal.

depois de ver: que filme ruim. aqui nada funciona. as piadas, a violência... tudo jogado em um roteiro que não sabe pra onde ir, quer apenas dar voz ao preconceito e a cólera dos seus autores.

Stellan Skarsgard to Receive Locarno’s Lifetime Achievement Award

Skarsgard will attend the Swiss festival to accept the Leopard Club Award and present 'What Remains,' a film in which he co-stars with his son, Gustaf.

BY SCOTT ROXBOROUGH, JULY 10, 2023 3:15AM

Legendary Swedish star Stellan Skarsgard (Good Will Hunting, Mamma Mia!, Nymphomaniac) will be honored with the Leopard Club Award, a lifetime achievement honor, at this year’s Locarno International Film Festival.

Skarsgard will receive the prize on Aug. 4 at a ceremony at Locarno’s Piazza Grande and will take part in an audience Q&A on Aug. 5. In his honor, Locarno will screen Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg (1990), Kjell Grede’s period drama in which Skarsgard plays Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews during the final months of World War II. The festival will also screen What Remains, Ran Huang’s crime drama, co-written by his partner Megan Everett-Skarsgard, which features Skarsgard and one of his actor sons, Gustaf (Vikings, Oppenheimer). Huang and the Skarsgards will attend the Locarno screenings.

The 72-year-old has successfully balanced a career as a European art house star. He has made five films with Lars von Trier — including Breaking the Waves (1996), Dancer in the Dark (2000), Dogville (2003) and Melancholia (2011) — and five with Norwegian auteur Hans Petter Moland, such as In Order of Disappearance (2014) and Out Stealing Horses (2019). Skarsgard has also held supporting roles in Hollywood blockbusters, like Pirates of the Caribbean, Mamma Mia!, Thor and the Avengers movies. He played Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, a role he will reprise in the upcoming Dune: Part Two. On the small screen, Skarsgard won the Golden Globe for best supporting actor in a miniseries in 2019 for his performance in HBO drama Chernobyl and recently starred in Tony Gilroy’s Star Wars spinoff Andor for Disney+.

“Stellan Skarsgard belongs to the tradition of European actors who have distinguished themselves between auteur cinema and Hollywood,” said Locarno artistic director Giona A. Nazzaro. “Endowed with a very powerful stage charisma, he has been able to make every role he has played unforgettable. Capable of reinventing his character according to the needs of the director and the script, he was able to inject his personality into films that were extremely different from each other.”

Locarno’s Leopard Club award is presented every year to an individual “whose work in the film industry has left its mark on the collective imagination.” Previous winners include Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow, Adrien Brody, Meg Ryan, Hilary Swank and Daisy Edgar-Jones.

The 76th Locarno Film Festival runs Aug. 2 to 12. (Switzerland)

476 to go

Zero Kelvin (1995, dir. Hans Petter Moland): I took a long break from this project because I was feeling overwhelmed by how far I still had to go and it was making me dread watching all these movies.

I've been looking forward to Zero Kelvin for a while and was hoping it would get me excited again. It didn't. I liked it fine but it didn't show me anything I haven't seen a dozen times before.

The Blair Witch Project (1999, dir. Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez): Fully opposite experience with this one. I wasn't expecting much but I figured since it's short and it's summer - the only time I can watch properly scary movies, because I'm a sensitive soul - I might as well check it out.

And I loved it! The "gimmick" (if we wanna refer to an entire subgenre of horror that way) is used to incredible effect. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire second half and was peering through my fingers for the last part (sensitive soul that I am). It competely reignited my excitement for this project.

The Towering Inferno (1974, dir. John Guillermin): Bloated 70s cheese that only managed to make me care about half the characters and yet somehow kept me entertained for all 165 minutes! Paul Newman and Steve McQueen are two very sweaty men.

The Exorcist (1973, dir. William Friedkin): Horror movie season continues! I knew a lot about this movie already through cultural osmosis but the slow burn leading up to the exorcism surprised me. There was something that kept me from getting fully engaged (I think it was the editing) but between Linda Blair giving 110% in her performance and the hot priest, there was a lot to love.

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 “Dancing with the Star” 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.
