성가신 남자
Spiddet mann
안드레아는 직장과 집과 아내가 있는 평범한 40대 남자다. 단 한 가지, 도대체 그것들이 어디서 생겼는지 혹은 자기가 그 낯선 도시에 어떻게 도착하게 되었는지 알 수 없다는 점만 빼면 아무런 문제도 없다. 이 완벽한 도시는 이상할 정도로 깨끗하고 주민들은 기계적이어서, 안드레아는 여기서 도망치고 싶다. 안드레아의 유일한 동료는 휴고뿐이다. 어느 날 휴고가 지하실에서 갈라진 틈을 발견하고, 그 틈으로부터 두 남자의 탈출 계획이 시작된다. 디스토피아를 배경으로 한 블랙 코미디로, 공포스러운 만큼 코믹하고 익숙한 만큼 낯설다.
Destination Moscow
Writer
Strømgren, a dancer and choreographer, and Hodne, a stage director, send a theatre group on tour into a corner of the then Soviet Union, where Vassa, the leader, is increasingly despairing over fruitless ambitions and audiences lack of interest. Destination Moscow is a lopsided view of the last decade of the Soviet Union, as seen through the eyes of an incorrigible idealist from the provinces. He dreams of conquering the glamorous stage of the Pushkin Theatre in Moscow. Art, love, hope and dreams become heavy burdens to bear when society is literally falling apart. Smuggling sugar puts some bread on the table.
The Neighbour
Director
Two neighbours. A lonely pianist on one side of the wall. A couple with domestic problems on the other. They can hear each other. THE NEIGHBOUR is a film about man and woman, about single people, about the chance to start over again, about chances that are long gone. It is also a film about how music affects us, and how we affect music. The film features dancers Line Tørmoen and Dimitri Jourde – two top level creative performers. It also features Leif Ove Andsnes – a pianist that should need no introduction to anyone interested in classical music. As one of the most accomplished musicians of the world he is constantly playing worldwide with solo recitals or accompanied by the most distinguished orchestras. His part in this project differs radically from his regular performances by the fact that his music interpretation is submitted motivations as a theatrical character. The location of the film was Jo Strømgren’s private flat in Oslo during a period in August 2009.
