Svidd Neger which means "Burnt Negro" caused a lot of controversy even before it was even seen, because of the name,
and was accused to racist. The finished product had no sign of racism in it though, but it
would upset people never the less. Or maybe not.. whatever is
going on in this movie is too bloody weird to get provoked by.
Or maybe it is. People react differently to things don't they?
Beautiful thing that.
One thing that is sure about the norwegian movie business is that
its probably going the right way, when crazy stuff like this gets
financed. This is no average norwegian movie at all. Still its
probably one of the best movies from Norway I've seen..
I know a lot of movies called "sick", but few movies that deserves it
as much as Svidd Neger. Its not a movie to view with your parents
probably, that for sure. It has a lot of really sick humor.
The story is set on a farm, and another farm.. and no person in this
movie is sane. Except for the girl to some extent.
I see a lot of people is comparing this to stuff David Lynch has
directed. Mmm. Not quite. Its much more silly and crazy.. and its
not an art-movie either. Its better to compare it to Lars Von Trier's
"The Idiots". Much better. Its a good picture though, and even if a more crazy ending would
have suited it its a brilliant movie! I gave it an 8/10 myself.
