“Few films warm my heart with the regularity of u0026quot;Elling.u0026quot; (I make it a point to watch it about once a month.) Though the film lacks most of the ingredients for widespread commercial success (big stars, lots of sex, action, etc.) its appeal, to me, are its unremitting warmth and charm; and I was gratified to see u0026quot;The Academyu0026quot; (the Oscar folks) recognize its beauty, as well (u0026quot;Ellingu0026quot; was a u0026quot;Best Foreign Filmu0026quot; nominee.) You will not regret picking up u0026quot;Elling.u0026quot; However, I heartily recommend the u0026quot;subtitledu0026quot; version; avoid the u0026quot;dubs!u0026quot; The subtlety, nuance, and beauty of the Norwegian language are one of the filmu0026#39;s u0026quot;uncredited characters.u0026quot; I recommend u0026quot;Ellingu0026quot; without reservation.”
