Not Paris, 1968 and not a do***entary.
Not Paris, 1968 and not a do***entary. The story is in present time and is about some friends in Osla, Norway. There is some small parts looking back in history, but not to 1968. And there is a very small part of the movie taking place in Paris. It´s not a do***entary but a romantic-drama-comedy, but much more intelligent than usually.
It is a film about friendship, love, madness and creativity. A film you must see.

And by the way, if you don´t know, prosopopeia - prosopopoeia [pros-o-po-pee-a], the Greek rhetorical term for a trope consisting either of the personification of some non-human being or idea, or of the representation of an imaginary, dead, or absent person as alive and capable of speech and hearing, as in an apostrophe.
It is good to know if you shall see the movie.

Eric and Philip grow up!
If you can't deal with subtitles don's go. A couple next to me left at the beginning when they saw subtitles and the lady said, oh this is Finnish! Not so, this is a Norwegian film set in Oslo directed by joachim trier, who I suspect has Truffaut for his inspiration. Philip and Eric are students who knew each other since their teens and have ambitions to be authors. They mail their books at the same time, Philip's is a great success and Eric's is not with many consequences, one of which is Philip's inability to deal with success and his consequent breakdown. Now, pay attention to this complicated movie, some stream of conciousness, some flashbacks and forwards and what might have been, a voice over to help (or hinder ?) us, we cover a lot of ground with life as a student, wild parties, sex, intelectual discussion and chidish behaviour, you do remember those days! Worth watching and leaves you with plenty to discuss. Try it.

It's artistic and foreign-- if thats the kind of movie you like you should see this.
I just saw this today and really enjoyed it. I found it amusing and very enjoyable. The characters are interesting and their interactions are fun to watch. The movie translates well, it is easy to settle into the pace and patterns of the dialect. I really enjoyed the style of filming and the artistic nuances. I'd recommend this film to a friend.
