Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
arfdawg-1 A wealthy visitor to a small town befriends a midget and gets involved with two women as his behaviour becoming ever stranger.Firstly the print I saw was out of focus.Not sure why but it was blurry.It's a very slow film with over dubbing, which I hate.It has a surreal flavor to it, but it reminds me of a Tale of Two Cities.I was very bored. Very bored.Be prepared for one of the slowest movies you will likely ever see.
csm2 Although this is a good adaptation of Hamsun's most well know novel,a more realistic,if somewhat depressing, film called "Hunger" that was made in Norway in 1966 captures the feel of his work even better. This film by Henning Carlson is difficult to find but worth seeing out. It depicts Hamsun's struggle as an aspiring artist to survive in Christianna,now Oslo, where he faces starvation. Per Oscarsson and Gunnel Lindblom(from Ingmar Bergman's films) are the lead actors and do a terrific job of portraying the lead characters. I don't know if it is available in VHS or DVD but "Mysteries" did come out in VHS format although,as yet, I have not seen it on DVD.
m_a_coleman2000 have watched this movie over 10 times but I still do not get what is going on. I want to believe that the movie tried to follow the book but failed eithier due to budget cuts or crappy editing. I am guessing a combo. The performance of Danny is laughable, Hauer tries to be good, Rappaport excellent. To tell you the truth, Rappaport is the only reason I watched the film in the first place. His performance stands out from all others and was great. Anyway, If you are not a diehard fan of any of the actors, do not watch it. Not worth anyones time.
PVOM This is one of several early Hauer flicks which wound up on video in the mid eighties (1984, here) stateside. This one is near impossible to locate and it is not worth the effort. The bassy almost incomprehensible dubbing accounts for much of this. But the plot is murky too. Hauer seems to be moping over a lost lover. If this film was meant to exploiut Hauer's fame, it failed miserably. Whatever the film makers intent, it doesn't translate well stateside (regrettably). A lot of sex and flashbacks afoot.
