Norway released, PAL/Region 2 DVD: LANGUAGES: Norwegian ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Danish ( Subtitles ), English ( Subtitles ), Icelandic ( Subtitles ), Norwegian ( Subtitles ), Swedish ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (1.85:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Interactive Menu, SYNOPSIS: The Norwegian writer and director Bent Hamer's wry, uninflected deadpan social comedy points as straight and true as a compass fixed on magnetic north. It has the tingly, dry shock of a snootful of sub-zero air. The material itself is so minimal that it makes a New Yorker cartoon look like an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants." Folke (Tomas Norstrom) is an expert from the Swedish Home Research, part of a project to track the domestic habits of Norwegian bachelors. He moves into the home of one of the study's subjects, Isak (Joachim Calmeyer), a bizarre codger who pads around his tiny, uncomfortable house. Isak turns the tables at night by slipping into his attic and spying on the lonely Folke, who lives in a trailer on Isak's property. Mr. Hamer takes what sounds like a constricted and unpromising premise, and gets the most out of the modest contradictions. He maximizes the concept, through an entrancing visual flair and, eventually, a tiny depth of feeling. He keeps the film compact, and the design scheme of this postwar era has dash and vigor. The retro polish of "Kitchen Stories" comments on the loneliness of utilitarian design. Folke might as well be a vowel floating in a Campbell Soup can.

4.0 out of 5 stars real and deep 19 Dec 2011

By Bama - Published on Amazon.com

I totally get why most people would say they dont like the movie.... I personally got a lot out of it. To me this is a movie for deep thinkers and for individuals who are intrigued with human behavior in setting rarely seen... when someone is basically alone but not. For individuals who are truely interested in the quiet part of a person when they think they need no one... have their walls up... but then we get to see the walls actually begin to come down and get to see how trust and true friendship actually starts... and grows... with no expectations or demands. True friendship to where one will sacrafice something (the horse) very dear to them... KNOWING they will probably lose it.... if it means they can save the life of their one friend. The bottom line is to me that we are basically all the same at our core. Even if we THINK or believe we don't want anyone in our life... there is a part in all of us that wants atleast one friend ....maybe even needs a friend ...especially when our little spot in this huge world becomes dark with a heartwrenching sadness. It would help if we knew we at least had one person in our life that cared that we were hurting inside. I totally loved this movie. I wish I could change the ending but it wouldnt have near the same meaning.

4.0 out of 5 stars I truly enjoyed it 7 Sep 2011

By Ellie - Published on Amazon.com

Although this film does require a bit of patience in a few of its moments, overall I think it was rather lovely.
The story's premise is that single men are being watched to see how they use their kitchens: specifically, how they move (where they walk) in them.
But it's really about the relationship that develops between one observer and his host, which is, of course, forbidden.

A sincere story about friendship between two lonely men, this bittersweet film is not for those fond of action or speed in movies. If, however, you have 90 minutes and want to see a glimpse of another culture in another time (mid 20th century), give this one a try. It honestly does drag a bit now and then, but not often; the stellar acting more than makes up for it. Cheers!

By pingPong - Published on Amazon.com

this is the kind of movie we as a couple like to watch. its about real people, and we get to know their character with humor and wit. getting to know the personal quirks about these characters keep the movie enjoyable.
