ever since i first hear that the book by erling jepsen be be put into a movie i have be anticipate it release since i have read the book with much pleasure and since i have actually work on that mental institution sanne be commit to . it a story of a family of five and where the old brother have leave home to study and who be be manipulate by their father who be a neurotic patriarch . he be the hysterical type and load with feeling of inferiority . this combination make him go on a constant search for reassurance and comfort in a very egocentric fashion to a point where his wife simply give up and instead either take sleep pill or challenge him to commit suicide . his young son and allan and try to help his father a he have not yet reach a point of maturity that allow him to see through his father behavior and understand it a manipulative . in do so he become just a manipulative but we symphatize and forgive him a we understand that he do it out of innocence and loyalty to his father . a the story develop so do allan and finally the alliance between him and his father be break a he become more aware of the consequence of his father action . the movie take place in the 1970 and there have clearly be put a lot of effort into make the environment typical of it time with great success . the acting be flawless and i think it be a wise choice to let young allan play his part in a very subtly and restrain way . this also make the sinister theme more bearable to watch a allan seem more or less unaffected . i would really recommend this movie while it give a humorous portrayal of some very important theme without ever betray them . mojn simon .
