Watch Death at Oslo C For Free

Redundant and unnecessary.

Let's be realistic.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Much has been said of the dialogue, and this films cult status. It is a 1990 film version of a 1988 book, and much of the dialogue is straight from the book. It is meant to capture the 1980s sociolects, and is comically dated today, though reasonably accurate in its depiction. Technically the film is quite good, the city shots of Oslo, with moving camera and on location scenes are quite good. The director makes the most of her film debut, and Døden på Oslo S far exceeds its two sequels. Having 15 year olds playing 15 year olds, is an artistic choice, that gives it a genuine feel. Decent film.

This is a sympathetic film, with many, many weak spots, such as the crew members that are starring in one of the scenes, perfectly reflected in a dark car window. The dialogue is often forced, so it's very difficult to really get into the film. But visually it is not bad at all and generally has a very authentic feel. The characters are never far away from reality and Oslo, back in 1990, must have been a terribly depressing place, according the portrait that this film paints of it. Oslo S (the Central Station), still is a gathering place for junkies, 20 years later. For a teenage public it is a very nice coming-of-age film with a good introduction to the darker side of growing up in a big city.

I first saw the movie when I was nine, and loved it right away. But even though I was quite young the first time I saw it, even when I see it now, I think it's still great. (I'm 24) This year it will finally be released on DVD, a moment've been waiting for for a long time, since my VHS version is a bit tired.The movie offers a good soundtrack, and a marvelous picture of Oslo, the Norwegian capital. It also shows the darker sides of being a kid in the city, with drugs and prostitution.See this movie, and judge for yourselves, I give it a perfect ten! Andreas.

..unless you think bad child-actors are hilarious, like I do. Especially Norwegian ones. Set in Oslo, the story is about two teenagers trying to solve a crime-mystery concerning under-aged prostitutes. This movie never gets suspenseful, though, although it tries. I think this is the first of three "Pelle og Proffen" movies, which are all based on Ingvar Ambjørnsens books about two crime-solving teenagers.Actor Bjørn Sundquist does a somewhat memorable performance, and there are many memorable quotes, at least if you understand Norwegian. Has become a bit of a cult-movie over the years, because of unintentionally funny dialouge and some poor extras and supporting roles, like the character "Filla". The main characters Pelle and "Proffen" both suffer from bad acting, and I don't think the actors ever starred in anything memorable again.
