History

Oddvar Bull Tuhus (født 14. desember 1940 i Oslo) er en norsk regissør og filmskaper som har vært med på å lage spillefilmer og tv-serier siden hans spillefilmdebut Rødblått paradis i 1971. I sin første film bar stilen hans preg av å være inspirert av fransk ny bølgefilm og de modernistiske filmene på 1960- og 1970-tallet. Med hans neste film, Maria Marusjka fra 1973 heller Tuhus mer mot den realistiske filmen og vant også Filmkritikerprisen for sitt arbeid. På 80-tallet gikk Tuhus igjen nye veier og laget tre ungdomsfilmer og en spenningsfilm, hans siste filmer var mer i retning populærfilmen og spesielt hans siste film, Blücher fra 1988 bar preg av de store blockbuster- og actionfilmene fra 80-tallet. Han er også grunnlegger og styreformann i de private produksjonsselskapene Vampyrfilm (grunnlagt 1970) og Marcusfilm (grunnlagt 1974).

1958
Writer
We follow the rootless Sinsen gang in good times and bad. A life that consists of rock concerts, hut trips, amusement park visits and car thefts. The year is 1958, when the Americans launched the Explorer and the Russians Sputnik III. However, these events do not interest the youthful persons in this film, the members of the "Sinsen gang". For them, it is far more important to know which rock hits are on top on Top Twenty on Radio Luxembourg, and to have seen the latest film with Elvis. The most important is to be accepted by the gang, to be loyal to your pals, and for a very few to be prepared for school
