Salmer fra kjøkkenet (2003)

English title: Kitchen Stories.

Synopsis: A scientific research is conducted aiming at assessing the efficiences of different kitchen configurations at bachelors' houses. One human observer is placed inside each subject's kitchen and must write down the activities of the house dweller. The story centers around the friendship that develops between one of these observers and his subject.

Appraisal: The greatest flaw of this film is that the eccentric premise is not good enough for one hour and a half of film. Thus, the interest dwindles by the middle of the movie, to be rekindled only near the end. Although quite tedious at some points, the film illustrates the lonely life of men living in remote regions with a certain affection and stylishness.

Rating: 36
