Einer nach dem anderen (2014)

Einer nach dem anderen: Directed by Hans Petter Moland. With Stellan Skarsgård, Bruno Ganz, Pål Sverre Hagen, Jack Sødahl Moland. After his son is murdered by drug dealers, a snowplow driver starts seeking revenge.

“Stellan is stellar in Kraftidioten and so are the ever-neurotic villain and his comrades. Northern comedies are famous for a sort of mocking realism, spiced with irony, complete, as a rule, with a generous amount of black humor (cf. Adamu0026#39;s Apples, Flickering Lights, The Green Butchers). Kraftidioten doesnu0026#39;t fail to deliver on that count, for sure. It is at the same time serious, playful, hilarious, and thus highly entertaining. The plot doesnu0026#39;t have huge surprises in store, but what it does have is of the finest strain. The story is nicely spun; the characters are memorable, and dialogs are well-written and wonderfully witty throughout.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe son of a snow plower driver is killed by drug dealers for something heu0026#39;s not involved in. This sends the father, who is by the way a highly-esteemed citizen thanks to his work for the community, into a paternal rage and on a quest to avenge his son, setting a domino effect in motion in the local mafiau0026#39;s life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA snow-covered dark comedy that should please a wide variety of movie lovers for all the good reasons. Double thumbs up! 9/10.”
