My big fat Scandinavian films list
I was talking with Flowers about Scandinavian film/tv and whatnot, and somewhere along the line we decided to exchange watched/to-watch lists. So, here is that, then.
I've been very slowly making my way through all files that I downloaded, so there's more on the "watched" than the "unwatched" now. I tend to pick up things that are either recommended or just... indiscriminately taking whatever came up while searching for Scandinavian films, so it's a mix of "quite good" and "quite... not great", haha.
But hey, if anyone has ideas of Norwegian/Swedish/Danish films or series that I might like, I'd love to hear it... Norwegian stuff is doubly loved because I am still trying to learn that language. I'm just, uh, very slow at it.
Watched:
*De dødes tjern/Lake of the Dead [Norwegian. Ghost story. Very enjoyable. Has become one of my go-to movies when I want to watch something calming.]
*Dead Snow/Død snø [Norwegian. Zombie movie. The only zombie movie that I can watch without having nightmares. Quite good - if you like that kind of thing.]
*The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo/Män som hatar kvinnor [Swedish. Crime story - well, everyone knows this one. Better than the novel because it cuts out a lot of the tedious tl;dr]
*Let the Right One In/Låt den rätte komma in [Swedish. Vampire film, very enjoyable. As good as the novel.]
*Princess (2006) [Danish. Partly animated and partly not, but definitely 18+... Guy seeks revenge for the death of his porn star sister - with the help of his neice. Kind of disturbing; I wouldn't watch it again.]
*Flammen & Citronen/Flame and Citron [Danish. Film about the Occupation and two members of the Resistance. A tad violent, but amazing. Loved it so much that I went ahead and bought it.]
*Mannen som elsket Yngve [Norwegian. Guy falling in love with his (male) friend. Watched it with Norwegian subs so I wasn't able to get as much out of it as I would have liked, but still found it enjoyable.]
*Sammen (2009) [Norwegian. Man dealing with the death of his wife and having to look after his son. Not bad, but not great. I found it hard to get through.]
*5 Løgner [Norwegian. I don't remember anything about this film. Take from that what you will.]
*Mumin series [Swedish version. Actually not through all of it yet... but most of it. Watching it raw so there are some parts that leave me going ????]
Haven't watched yet:
*Anno 1790. [Swedish. Historical crime series. Lakonisk says that it's awesome. Looking forward to it <3 ]
*Trolljegeren/Troll Hunter [Norwegian. Film is what it says on the tin, I think. I hear it's good!]
*Reprise (2006) [Norwegian. I have no idea what it is about but it was highly recommended on fail_fandomanon]
*Fritt vilt [Norwegian. Horror film. I don't know anything else about it.]
*Ni liv/Nine Lives (1957) [Norwegian. Takes place during WWII. About Jan Baalsrud's escape to Sweden. I'm looking forward to this one.]
*Ungen (1938) [Norwegian. Don't know anything else about it. But it's subtitled so at least I'll be able to follow it, haha.]
*Snapphanar [Swedish. 3-part miniseries about a peasant rebel movement in 17th-century Scania. I hear it's very historically inaccurate, but it might be entertaining :Va]
