Weird Potpourri, Feb 17 2012
By G. Teslovich - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy, Happy (DVD)
Potpourri is a mix of stuff with little logical connection amongst the mix. This movie pot revolves around two married couples one of which has moved into a rental house (in isolated Norway) that is next door to it's owners - also a married couple. An incongruous assemblage. The couple that moved in are highly educated with an adopted young African son. The owning couple, less educated, has a son who mercilessly torments the other boy because he's black and withdrawn most likely because he's suddenly with white parents in snowy white Norway. The two couples each have their secrets which, predictably, concerns sex and compassionate understanding thus the movie's tension. Resolution comes in some surreptitious sex (little is shown). There's no tele or radio but there is some wireless web access. They interact by a few shared dinners followed by awkward after-dinner guessing games. Singing in the nearby town's choir is the only activity we see outside of the homes but plays an important role.What's weird, almost comical, is how each person comes to grips with their personal secret - trust, sex, understanding, self-confidence. Even for the adopted boy reading for the first time about how slavery relates to him, then followed by the positive counterpoint of seeing President Obama on the web. Strange, but entertaining, are the frequent random scene breaks where a singing group that look like suited CIA/Matrix types belt out bluesy, gospel, rap songs in English; all the more strange in a Norwegian film.

Strange, But Interesting, Feb 23 2012
By SanDiegoJesse - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Happy, Happy (DVD)
I really didn't know how I felt about this movie when it ended. Very strange, but fascinating in how each character eventually found their own truth. It was described as a black comedy, but I didn't see that to be true. Cinematography was beautiful, and the acting was very good. Overall, a mixed bag, but entertaining in its oddness.
