Review of 1001 Grams (2014) by Alan W — 17 Oct 2014

A Norwegian film about a daughter fulfilling the legacy of her late father who made a prototype of the actual weight of a kilo to represent Norway in an international conference of weights and measures (for real?), it is probably a metaphor for her grief.

If this sounds fun to you, then you may have a Norwegian sense of humour - which is probably drier than an AA meeting in the Sahara. There are a few cool, surreal moments and I chuckled 3 times, I think, but I have no idea what this film is really about.

All I know is that, slotted in the Laugh section of the Film Festival, it is neither funny nor dramatic.
