Details

Anna lives with her father Karl someplace in the outskirts of northern Norway. Karl killed his ex-wife and threw her newborn coloured child into the sea when he discovered that she obviously had been unfaithful. Now Karl is being haunted by her ghost and is developing a serious drinking problem. Anna is looking for the love of her life, but there aren't many bachelors around - until they discovers another small family on the other side of the mountain. They meet a semi-alcoholized widow on Karl's age, her son Peder, and her black adopted son, Ante, that arrived from the sea on a piece of wood.

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Gorm-Sweden One of the greatest Nordic films ever. Great surrealism and a wonderful play with the time line. For example when Anna gets pregnant and one of the others notice it until Anna asks the mother. The funniest thing about that is that she's about 5 minutes away from giving birth. Or when Ante finds the children (they're twins) and says:"I'm a father... and Norrman to."The soundtrack is also very interesting with Ulver as composers, and one detail that makes the music great in the film is when you actually see an orchestra.I suppose you'll have to watch it a couple of times to really appreciate it. But when you've done that you'll like it as much as me.
Andreas Moss 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 itwould upset people never the less. Or maybe not.. whatever isgoing 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 thatits probably going the right way, when crazy stuff like this getsfinanced. This is no average norwegian movie at all. Still itsprobably one of the best movies from Norway I've seen..I know a lot of movies called "sick", but few movies that deserves itas much as Svidd Neger. Its not a movie to view with your parentsprobably, 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 thismovie is sane. Except for the girl to some extent. I see a lot of people is comparing this to stuff David Lynch hasdirected. Mmm. Not quite. Its much more silly and crazy.. and itsnot 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 wouldhave suited it its a brilliant movie! I gave it an 8/10 myself.
espen-haugland This is with out a doubt the sickest norwegian movie I`ve EVER seen. I mean that in a good way. This movie have a twisted sense of humor, and I love it!A group of people in a farm in Norway does the sickest things you can only imagine. - One guy cuts one of his own fingers of. - A girl gives birth in the woods. - A negrow eats mushrooms every day.You can't miss this one. If you have a twisted sense of humor, this is the movie for you!
