My Norwegian cousins work in film and they usually send me DVDs for christmas of birthdays. The films are usually scandinavian and are usually very good. One such DVD this christmas was “Frozen Land”. It’s a great movie with about 6 characters who all come in contact with each other during the film – each time resulting in some sort of tragedy. The film was in finnish but using my google skills I was able to track down the english subtitles for my favourite quote from the film.

Do you remember the questions we asked each other as kids?

Why am I who I am? Why was I born here?

Why can’t I scream when I feel bad?

What’s the point of living if this life is merely hell?

But we have to believe, –

that in the end things work out for the best

Otherwise, nothing makes any sense

It’s available on amazon and play.com – well worth a watch. As you can probably tell – it’s a pretty morbid film.
