There’s something up with those studies that claim Scandinavian countries are the happiest on Earth; just take a look at their cultural exports. Films like this where everything is a shade of grey-green and everyone is sad and getting their hands stuck in things. It’s got this humour within depression thing which hits a perfect balance, all within these long static shots with Tati-like compositions and blocking-as-gags. Absolute stand up and clap moments. Amazing.
