So what does it have? :
1.) Norwegians speaking Norwegian and Germans speaking German. Nice to watch a decent war film where everyone is actually speaking in their country's language. Although, interestlingly, Jonathen Rhys Mayers is in it (the guy who played Henry the VIII in "The Tudors") as the head of the Gestapo ...speaking..you guessed it..German. Yes, I like American war films..just nice to see a bit more realism when it comes to the language department.
2.) Snow Caves
3.) An exciting reindeer chase.
4.) Home surgery of frostbite..eek.
5.) Quisling. A term you don't really hear much outside of Norwegian war films. Actually, you never hear it.

It's a very good film. Two thumbs and a toe up.

And a toe? Siskel ain't got shit on you man.

Added 150 must-see b-movies and cult films to my introduction to pop culture list. And tonight I caught up a bit with the world of animated film and watched The Iron Giant.

I definitely see why it was universally acclaimed.

Watch Angel's Egg (1984). It's like a drone in visual form. You won't even know what to do with yourself.

Finally watched 'mother!' last night.

****ing brilliant in every way. Just a mind blowing experience.

I actually watched that last week and thought it was pretty crap. Not that anyone would be surprised that I didn't like it

Watched Arrival yesterday, and despite having had a low view of Denis Villeneuve's movies so far, I liked this one fairly much. A bit too visually plain and narratively surface level for such an interesting concept, but I still think it was enjoyable. Not sure it's gonna stand up well to repeat viewings, as a big part of the appeal was simply figuring out where the plot was going.
