This is a Swedish film based on the book of the same name. It is sent to represent the nation at the Oscars and as for now, it made into the December shortlist. This is the tale of an old grumpy man and the life after the death of his wife.
That would be a toughest phase of life for anybody. I am sure you had seen many films like this, but this one was slightly different, yet totally convincing on every topic it focused on. So funny, at a time meaningful and emotional, particularly how the tale ends. In a small township, a 59 year old man called Ove lived most of his life and now he decides to take his life. But the attempt was prevented when a new lousy neighbour arrives and so it keep delays further.
Now's the time to reveal all the reasons behind his dreadful decision with lots of flashbacks and current affairs. That he's a nightmare in his neigbourhood to those who break the rules. He's not a friendly type, because of his childhood and the lessons he learnt from his father to face the life as tough it gets. The only friend he ever had did not last for a long. His wife was his world and then the job at the railway. The narration given a good enough focus on his romance life.
His younger version, played by another actor reveals particularly the initial stage like how he had met her. I don't know these actors, but they all were so good. A perfect setting as well for the story to take place. I think the filmmakers did lots of best decisions and in the end it all paid off with a greater recognition in the international level.
But sometimes honesty needs a little help. I was looking for such a film and I realised only after watching it. The character Ove was designed awesomely and all the story events built around him was excellent.
Covered most of the topics like friendship, love, neighbours, job, moral values, even the pet animals. Loads of fun, guaranteed entertainment if you are seeking a comedy film. As Ove was portrayed very seriously, all his actions, especially the newly arrived woman make major difference to end the film most comedic way. The regularly visiting his wife's grave, the film beautifully gives an insight on the life of Ove being a widower and a retiree.
But also how it all turns around for him who never laughs and finally he does, was the film's highlight. Like I always say, I'm not a book person, but I love watching films based on the good books like this one. An awesome adaptation and I hope those who loved the book, as well enjoyed the film.
Usually all the good films run nearly or over two hours. Because of the slow and steady developments in its characters and the story. For this film, you won't notice the time. The pace of the narration, including the lovable characters and the storyline makes you forget everything else. Speaking of The Producers , how can we forget the man responsible for the film and also for bringing Larry into the stage play? The best part about Mel Brooks' cameo is the twist to his story, as to why he wanted to cast Larry David in the lead out of all the people.
There is also a nice touch of his late Anne Bancroft also appearing in the scene with him. The tennis legend, also known for narrating Netflix series Never Have I Ever , has a memorable outing as being the unlucky one of being chauffeured by Larry David, and having to end up getting smashed by mourners in his limo! Another Hollywood legend makes his cameo in the first episode of the new season Albert Brooks, one of Larry David's friends, arranges a mock funeral for himself so as to hear what his well-wishers have to say about him.
Well, not only does David make it a roast routine, the occasion also ended up with Brooks being accused of being a 'COVID hoarder', though he desperately denies those accusations! So imagine the spite Larry David attracted when, in trying to stretch his legs, he trips the basketball star during a match!
What happens next, as David tries to overcompensate for his mistake is plentiful of mirth. The musical genius of our time, the man who gave us Hamilton and Into The Heights , had a very terrific outing in the series. Of course, like every thing Larry is involved in, even the play goes horribly wrong, from a big-breasted interpreter distracting the men in the crowd to David dozing during the play to finally him and Miranda ending up in a duel!
The finale episode of season 10 sees Larry David start a spite store to undermine a rival, and inspired by his venture, several other Hollywood stars also start their own, including Mila Kunis, Jonah Hill and Sean Penn, that too for awfully hilarious reasons!
