Every year, cinema is developing more and more. New genres appear that are gaining serious popularity among most viewers. Also, technological progress does not stand still, thanks to which special effects look impressive. In particular, Hollywood succeeded in all of this, which pleases us with quality blockbusters for every taste. But sometimes a moment comes when you want to see something else, much more unusual. And here an art house comes to the aid of the viewer.
"Inappropriate person" - a new word in author's cinema
Author's movie is seriously different from the mass. First of all, it is distinguished by a more non-standard approach to the supply of material. The directors who shoot the art house are not afraid to experiment and come up with something new. Thanks to this, we get films that can pleasantly surprise. In this case, the main thing is not to overdo it. There are directors who try to cross several genres or storylines in their films right away, which is why the film looks less holistic. But it also happens that this is only beneficial. A great example of such a movie is "Inappropriate Person" (2006 film). This little masterpiece will be discussed.
About the film
The film "Inappropriate Person" (2006) is a fairly rare representative of the dystopian genre. However, this film is very different from those dystopias that many of you are used to. Here you will not find a continuous and the same type of action. The emphasis is on drama and plot. So the "Inappropriate Person" can be attributed to parables as soon as possible. People who love deep cinema with a serious meaning will definitely be satisfied with what they see.
Anyway, it is worth noting that in the 21st century, European cinema began to rapidly gain popularity in the world. Thanks to this, there are more and more viewers who are ready to go to such cinema to movie theaters, thereby allowing directors to collect the box office and get the opportunity to continue their creative work.
The film "Inappropriate Man" is the brightest representative of Scandinavian cinema. At the box office films of this country appear extremely rarely. Anyway, it is difficult to attribute Norway to those countries that often delight us with high-quality films. But "Inappropriate Person" can definitely be added to the list of films that must be watched by all movie fans.
Plot
The painting "Inappropriate Person" receives positive reviews for an interesting, unusual plot. At the center of the story is a forty-year-old man named Andreas. He lives in a perfect world. Moreover, it is ideal in the literal sense of the word. There is not a single flaw in it. The city is always clean and clean. All people live a happy life. There are never any serious conflicts that could lead to any consequences. That is why murders never happen in the city.
Andreas is also more than good. Almost immediately, he was able to get a high position in a prestigious company. Thanks to this, he receives a solid salary, which allows him to practically deny himself nothing. After some time, he meets the woman of his dreams, with whom he is forming a family. For the time being, Andreas's life was impeccable. But soon he begins to think about the fact that everyone around, although happy, is too unnatural. They look more like robots than people. Everything finally changes after he finds out about a strange incident. His colleague jumped out of the window, and then instantly died from his injuries. This event was out of the ordinary. Can Andreas figure out the reason for this suicide?
Film director
The little-known Norwegian film director Jens Lien shot this film. For him, “Inappropriate Person” (reviews of the film by viewers and critics will be presented to the attention of the reader below) was only the second in his career. Three years before that, he managed to shoot only "Johnny Wang" - successful in the homeland, but passed unnoticed in Europe, a film shot at a fairly high level. Even then, the talent of this man was noticeable. In “Inappropriate Man,” he managed to make serious progress, thanks to which the film turned out to be much deeper and more holistic. It raises serious questions that make you think a lot. But at the same time, the movie is not without irony. In the end, all this led to the first serious award by Jens Lien. "Inappropriate Person" was shown at the popular Cannes Film Festival, which won a prize from the Independent Film Association. For Jens, and indeed Norwegian cinema in general, it was a real triumph.
The director made his next film after five years. The film was called "Sons of Norway" and did not have such success in the world. Since then, Jens Lien has never taken anything else. One can only hope that in the coming years he will have new ideas for the next film, and he will be able to please the fans with another masterpiece.
"Inappropriate Person": actors
It is expected that in "Inappropriate Man" there is not a single large star that would be known to the viewer of our country. They are not lovers, but still, as a rule, they did not have serious experience in large cinema. We invite you to familiarize yourself with the main characters.
Trond Fausa Aurvaag
For this Norwegian actor, this film became a full-fledged debut on the big screen. And immediately he got the main role of Andreas. To play such a character is far from as easy as it might seem at first glance. However, Trond did a tremendous job, so we got a real cinema masterpiece. Subsequently, he repeatedly starred in Norwegian cinema. The main breakthrough of Trond Faus Aurvaag is considered to be the series "Lillehammer", which became a hit around the world.
Petronella Barker
Even less famous actress. However, older Russian viewers remember her. The thing is that she played her first and main role in her career back in 1985. And she did it in a Soviet masterpiece called "And trees grow on stones." The film tells about the ancient times when brave Vikings still existed in Scandinavia. Petronella played one of the main roles there. But it didn’t help her build a stellar career. Over the twenty-year period between films, she had only a few not-so-noticeable movie roles. Now, in fact, the situation is not much better. However, in "Inappropriate Person", she fully managed to make herself known to the whole world.
Per Shaaning
An actor about whom there is practically no detailed information on the Web. We only know that "Inappropriate Person" was the only film in Per's career in which he got a more or less noticeable role. Subsequently, he also appeared in the sequel to the popular slasher Lost (Fritt vilt). But success can hardly be called.
Other actors also did not stand out anything special during their career. But this did not stop them together to create an outstanding motion picture, which is popular with viewers even after ten years. It was thanks to their efforts that Norwegian cinema was seriously discussed in other countries.
"Inappropriate Person": movie reviews
Despite the fact that the movie "Inappropriate Person" was shot by an inexperienced director with the participation of inexperienced and unknown actors, reviews about this film in most cases were positive. This is especially true for professional critics. They spoke very flattering about this fantasy drama. First of all, they noted a rather original and atypical plot for modern cinema. It would seem that over the years of the existence of cinema, almost every topic has exhausted itself. It is becoming increasingly difficult to come up with something new and original. However, the director of the film still succeeded. Criticism called the picture "Inappropriate Person" quite successful, interesting. They recommend the film to watch. Also, critics in their reviews often note the overall atmosphere of the film. The plot proceeds slowly, but it does not drive into melancholy. Also a good solution was the choice of a relatively small timing. Thus, “Inappropriate Person” does not have time to get bored, and the plot does not sag.
Also, the film "Inappropriate Person" (2006) receives positive reviews from ordinary viewers. This is confirmed by the extremely high ratings on leading sites. And the reviews are mostly positive. Of course, this film is far from having the widest audience. Fans of entertaining cinema hardly even suspect the existence of "Inappropriate Person". However, more experienced moviegoers who appreciate author's cinema, invariably remained delighted with what they saw.
Conclusion
As a result, we got a full-fledged film, in which there is not a single serious drawback. Yes, perhaps not everyone will like it. And in order to fully understand some of the details, a multiple review may be required. However, no one will deny the fact that “Inappropriate Person” is a noticeable phenomenon in European cinema. So if you still have not had time to familiarize yourself with this Norwegian masterpiece, we strongly recommend that you start viewing as soon as possible. After watching this movie you will have something to think about.
