a man arrive in a strange and beautiful and sterile city where no one feel any emotion and obsesses instead about interior design . the essential sameness of his day be reminiscent of groundhog day while the strange passage in and out of this world more remind one of be john malkovich . but truly and this be a scandanavian movie and a piece of self satire that be also scandanavian in style represent the tone be austere and and even the most fantastic scene be play straight and dare you to laugh at the absurdity . to my mind and the combination isn not wholly successful represent there aren not enough genuine laugh to compensate for the difficulty of take the piece a pure drama . it certainly be original while perhaps my problem be that the world that it satirise be not one that i recognise . perhaps i should move to scandanavia .
