When snow-plougher Nils is awarded Citizen Of The Year, it seems like this quiet, gentle man has somehow reached the peak of his career. However the mistaken murder of his son sets off a series of events which utterly transforms this mild-mannered character and pulls him into a circle of ever escalating violence. It’s a brilliant dark comedy from the outstanding screenwriter Kip Fupz Aakeson and Stellan Skarsgård is outstanding in the central role of ‘Nils’. Bruno Ganz also shines as ‘Papa’ and relative newcomer Pål Sverre Hagen is outrageously charismatic as the mastermind crime boss, ‘Greven’. Hans Petter Moland directs with flair and a real eye for the funny.
