ALL HAIL OVE!



„Oscars” 2017 were 100% political, and no movie, however good, couldn't take a sniff of a „golden boy” if it didn't deal with African-American human rights or if it wasn't anti-Trump. Ashgar Farhadi's „Salesman” took the statue for the best foreign language movie only due to the fact that it was made by a man from a country on the Trump's refugee-ban list. And by doing so, it inflicted a huge injustice to the best movie of 2016 made in a non-English language.

„A man called Ove” and Rolf Lassgard are everything that Casey Affleck and „Manchester by the sea” aren't. A great and heavy drama about a seriously damaged man that managed to defeat life and everything it tossed at him. And did it in a severely amusing manner, creating one of the most likeable characters on the big screen in the past couple of years. Ending will be heart-throbbing, but also very positive, making the entire flick even more everlasting.

„A man called Ove” is the best foreign language movie of 2016, and the second one overall, being left behind only by „Lion”.
