The Black Lapp
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.

Captivating movie !
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D Awesome movie, could not stop laughing most of the time! :D
It's funny because it's true... or is it? I've grown up near the countryside of western Norway and know people here quite well. I've never been up north tho, but If the countryside in the northern part of Norway has any likeness to the places I have been this movie is not just fiction, It's partly documentary. This movie capture in a very absurd, original and hilarious way how weird a small community may become If it's left alone, hidden from the eyes of the world. Even thou the movie has been blamed for racism because of the title there is really no racism in this movie other than between the different characters in the story. The title "Svidd Neger" (Englis: Burned Negro) is a mystery to me cause it's clearly narrowing down the movie's appeal. This is not a movie containing any racist propaganda, but rather parodying the narrow-minded expectation some people have of how a black man should be, and the impression many Norwegians have of the Sami-people. Remember, the cast and crew who made this film is multicultural themselves.The story circles around tree main stories, which all are revealed to us piece by piece. The first character we really get to know is Ante, a young boy who struggle with his identity. He was raised to believe he's of the Norwegian native people (the Sami) thou, he can't overlook his dark skin and curly black hair. He lives with his adoptive mother and his older, and extremely sexually frustrated brother Peder. At the other side of a swampy hill lives the young woman Anna with her alcoholic father. Watching it all is Normann. A young man of a Sami-family who has decided to leave the traditional life of his people, and try to become as Norwegian as possible.They all live their simple lives not knowing about the families living at the other side of the muddy hill. By a mere coincidence the two families get aware of each others existence, wish consequences get beyond everybody's imagination. And when the young Sami man Normann appears the things quickly gets out of control...First off all. This movie is mad, stark raving mad. The movie is clearly inspired by a wave of Finnish movies from the 60'ies-70'ies which basically where dramas about small communities, wasted youth, drinking and murder. These were sent at prime-time Norwegian television, probably causing severe trauma at kids of that generation forcing them to make movies like this as a sort of therapy. And thank god for that! The movie also parodies the myths circulating in Norway about the people living far north in our country. Where the extreme stereotype is swearing, a heavy drinker and prefer resolve things with violence.The movie also got a great soundtrack by the Norwegian band "Ulver" which underline the mood of the film, making it darker, funnier and even more psychedelic.Showing such a totally indifference with such simple things as time, realism and common sense this is by my opinion one of the best dark comedies I've seen. Why? Because it manage to capture human nature, but at the same time removing all the basic rules of how a movie should be and all "unesseseary realism". Add a dose of violence, nudity, horror, and heavy drinking and you're getting close but not quite. I can guarantee that someone will with no doubt find this movie to be the worst, most pointless and disgusting movie they've seen. But at least it got a reaction beyond plane boredom. And one thing can I guarantee. Eighter you love it or you hate it. There is no in-between.
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.
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!
