A bittersweet
whimsy by the Norwegian director Bent Hamer. It is about a
retiring railroad engineer named Odd Horten. "Odd" is a
common enough first name in Norway, but reflect that English
is widely used in Scandinavia. O'Horten is a quiet,
reflective man, a pipe-smoker, who lives alone but is not
lonely and sets his life by the railroad timetable. He
is baffled by retirement. He's not sure when he
should be
anywhere.
“charmingly
eccentric comedy about conformity in Sweden and his native
Norway”.
