Norway's best film yet, 20 July 2006
8/10
Author: pablogic from Norway

I have to strongly defend this film because it is my favorite Norwegian film. I am well aware that the filmmakers intentions and the final result is way, way, way of the mark but I don't necessarily think that matters. What I think is important is that this is a great movie to watch. Over and over again, it is that funny. Any movie that I want to watch more than three times deserves a good rating.

In addition to being hilarious, Himmel og helvete is an iconographic film that really captures the time and feel of the late sixties in Oslo. I particularly like the scene at the club where a beat type poet is reading psychedelic poetry. But foremost I think the sheer morality and naivety that comes through in the film reflects the type of mentality typical for the sosialdemocratic Norway of those days.

I give it eight stars, the reason being that my second favorite Norwegian film isn't better than a seven.
