Foreign Movie Review: OSLO, AUGUST 31st (2011) D

Oslo, August 31stThis is a pointless movie about a young man living on the edge in Oslo, Norway.  He is a druggie on rehab and we meet his family and friends.  Totally no psycholological insight. The total community is PASSIONLESS.   Just no joy in life and it come through in this joyless horrid film called a movie.

The reviewers from rottentomatoes are way off base on this one


THIS WAS THE PRODUCERS REVIEW:
Thirty-four-year-old Anders (Anders Danielsen Lie) is a fortunate, but deeply troubled man battling drug addiction. As part of his rehabilitation program, he is allowed to go into the city for a job interview, but instead uses the opportunity as a way to drift around and revisit old friends. The day grows increasingly difficult as he struggles to overcome personal demons and past ghosts for the chance at love and a new life.
