A Man Calle Ove
A Man Calle Ove | 116mins | Swedish with English Subtitles
Based on the internatinal best selling novel, and Sweden's official entry for the Academy Awards (nominations are Janury 24). All Ove (Lassgård) wants to do is kill himself, but it's easier said than done when he's the only one in his neighborhood who follows and enforces the rules. He also feels obliged to help his neighbors when they need it. Every time he tries to kill himself, someone needs this, needs that, or the new neighbors run over his mailbox. Ove has to stop his latest attempt each time to yell at whatever has come up. How can he kill himself with all this racket? Morbidly funny, A Man Called Ove is about a man who has given up on life, but life hasn't given up on him. Ove may find he has something to live for after all.
