He doesn't misbehave for pleasure, but out of a sense of injustice. It becomes clear to him that the dorm master Brathen Kristoffer Joner is sexually abusing the small and weak C-5 Magnus Langlete every night in the laundry room.
Does Bestyreren, the governor, suspect what is happening? C bravely tells him what he knows, and the information is not welcomed.
Nevertheless, he calls in Brathen and pointedly asks him why he is still working at the institution after nine years.
A young man with his abilities and prospects should set his sights higher, the governor says; there's no future in being a dorm master and living alone on an isolated island.
Brathen evades replying, and seems to sense that the governor is reluctant to know the true answer to his question, because he doesn't want a scandal to threaten the school's sources of funding mostly from the church.
Here is an incident from history that seems to reflect Penn State coach Joe Paterno's reluctance to look too deeply into stories he heard about Jerry Sandusky.
Stellan Skarsgard is quite effective as Bestyreren, a man who mouths platitudes about how the school will help restore its boys to full and productive lives.
He has an unreasonable optimism, given the reality of the school experience, which places emphasis on forced manual labor and punishment.
Skarsgard evokes a studied detachment; he seems distracted from the reality at hand by his vague optimism. C eventually becomes the catalyst for an inmate uprising, dramatically staged by director Marius Holst with a balance between the latent wildness of the boys and their sometimes small stature.
In one touchy scene, they allow the governor and his wife to safely leave a dangerous situation, because they seem to have some grudging gratitude for his faith in them.
There is a harrowing scene as two of the boys try to escape across thin ice. The film plays well, and is involving, but in one form or another, this is a story often told.
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from until his death in In , he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.
Stellan Skarsgard as Bestyreren. Kristoffer Joner as Brathen. Reviews Rehabilitation by devout punishment. Legendary explorer Thor Heyerdal's epic 4,mile crossing of the Pacific on a balsawood raft in , in an effort to prove that it was possible for South Americans to settle in Polynesia in pre-Columbian times.
When his mother, who has sheltered him his entire 40 years, dies, Elling, a sensitive, would-be poet, is sent to live in a state institution.
There he meets Kjell Bjarne, a gentle giant and Carl and Robert, two slacker best friends who smoke hashish as a way of cheerful living - have been peddling hashish for a decade, hitting A police officer was shot and killed.
Kristoffer is a billboard hanger, 24 years old and carefree. When his girlfriend Elisabeth dumps him for the boss of her trend bureau, his life falls into pieces.
He feels like a loser. The story behind Hitler's plan of Germany getting the atomic bomb during WW2, and the heavy water sabotages in Rjukan, Norway, seen from four angles, the German side, the allied, the saboteurs and the company side.
Talia runs away from home taking her beloved dog with her. When her dog is stolen Talia enlists the help of a gang of boys to help her find her pet.
Based on a true story: Norwegian winter, early 20th century. On the island Bastoy, located in the Oslo fjord live a group of delinquent, young boys aged 11 to The boys daily, sadistic regime is run by the guards and the principal who bestow both mental and physical abuse on them.
Instead of the boys being straightened out with education they end up being used as cheap, manual labor. The boys attempt to survive by adapting to their inhumane conditions.
One day a new boy, Erling 17 , arrives with his own agenda; how to escape from the island. How far is he willing to go in order to get his freedom?
Written by JRN. Another piece of Norwegian greatness. The technical qualities are excellent, as is the acting from a mostly no-name cast whose one main star is Stellan Skarsgard, as miserable and burly as he's ever been.
It's the developing relationship between Benjamin Helstad and Trond Nilssen that really makes this involving viewing, despite the distasteful elements of the subject matter and the general feeling that this isn't going to have a happy ending.
In any case, I absolutely loved this film and want to see more like it. The Scandinavian countries seem to be turning out hit after hit at the moment, both in television and film, and it's a shame Britain and the USA couldn't follow some of their cues.
