En ganske snill mann "A Somewhat Gentle Man" (2010)

Stellan Skarsgård shows his skills in this dramedy about second chances, redemption, and family. It takes a strong actor to dance this bad, and say yes to so many women. It takes a firm confidence to allow being filmed from behind with a bald spot as large as one's pony tail.

When Scandinavians tell a story they do it slowly. It's like making a good stew. Character development is critical and the audience is allowed to enjoy the moments, sights, sounds, and aromas, as if they were part of the story.

The supporting cast are also great and too numerous to mention here. Hopefully my Scandinavian readers will forgive that. Few characters are truly loathsome, but almost all are flawed enough to be real.

Watch this movie with someone who will enjoy the subtitles enough to not even notice them.
