About this product

Product Information

A quaint story about the friendship between two aging men, KITCHEN STORIES is packaged as a comedy with a very strange premise. It is based on research conducted in Sweden in the 1950s when women were observed in the kitchen for a study to determine the best housework techniques. In the film, a fictional plotline concerns a team of Swedish scientists--all men--hired to observe bachelors living alone in Norway. Their methods are absurd. The observers live in funny little trailers outside their subjects' houses. They sit in high, intimidating chairs placed in the corner of their subjects' kitchens where they take notes on a clipboard. Finally, there is a strict rule that the observer and the subject must not speak to each other or make contact of any kind. This last rule is impossible to follow, and in the case of observer Folke (Tomas Norstrom) and subject Isak (Joachim Calmeyer) it is ignored. The two aging men become fast friends, passing wintry afternoons in the rural countryside sipping coffee, smoking pipes, and telling each other fantastic stories. Writer-director Bent Hamer has created a sweet and pleasing comedy with KITCHEN STORIES, using excellent photography, interesting colors, and great performances to make a success of a uncomplicated plot.

    Sorry it took awhile to send feedback - I ordered a used copy of this disc and got the C1300 message "disc is dirty" from the player. Your order came and the same thing happened. Then I ordered a brand new copy from Wal-Mart, opened it and put it in the player and got the same message again. 3 times I got same message! Finally, the disc I got from you was put it in another DVD player and it played fine, which means something is wrong with my other player. Anyway, thanks for A+++ service

  • Stay with it!

    A quiet slow paced film that hits you with sly humor and quiet examination of character’s lives. Don’t give up on it. It’s worth watching to the end. it has become one of my favorite slice of life films.

  • Dry situation-based humor

    A pair of taciturn Scandinavians find themselves in an absurd situation: a Norwegian is assigned to observe a bachelor Swede in his kitchen and record all activity for a government efficiency study. To avoid any "contamination" of the collected data, the two men are forbidden to speak or otherwise interact with eac other. The Swede has no enthusiasm for the project, and while he tolerates the observer seated in an enormous high-chair, he make any effort to make the task easier. If you like your humor drier than Wasa crispbread, this movie will appeal to you; for slapstick and witty repartee, you'll need to look elsewhere.

  • Subtle and thought provoking

    I can see how this wouldn’t be a major market item, but it’s very thought provoking. Value the people around you while you have them!

  • Smart & Funny

    The humor is subtle and slow. If you enjoy the type of humor in The Detectorists, you'll love this. The subtitling is easily legible. I mention that because I've seen careless subtitling with white text against a white background.

  • Good clean fun.

    All around well done movie. A bit quirky and nicely paced. A movie you can smile to all the way through.
