Funny Movie
If someone ever asks you if you would like to see a Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Finnish or Russian comedy then...well, I won’t say “Run for your life!!” but I will say “Be careful”.
Movies in the north loves to deal with serious issues like death, drugs, alcohol and other fun stuff, and even most of our comedies will leave you with a feeling that the world is a horrible place.
You think I’m exaggerating? Fine, but don’t say I didn’t warn you when you sit in the dark, crying.
A nice example is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XE4ZBcK01HU It’s considered one of the funniest scenes in the movie. He doesn’t like that the cow is looking at him. And punching woman is funny too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2WrE7SKmK4

Before Hannibal I knew Mads Mikkelsen from this super funny movie where his best friend constantly physically abuses him and he kills people and sells their meat as chicken in their butcher shop.
apparently he debuted his career by being abused on screen. this one is from 2005 ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam%27s_Apples
probably one of the funniest movies I've ever seen
What's the films name?
De grønne slagtere from 2003.
I know the German translation is "Dänische Delikatessen" which translates to "Danish Delicacies", but googling tells me the english title is "The Green Butchers", which I think is the original title translated
I watched a Danish (I think) movie on an airplane once called “Land of Mine” once. It was about 10-12 years ago. I can still see it.
Probably not a comedy, but oof.
Under sandet in Danish, I had a teacher who owned a willys jeep and was into reenactment be in that film, his willys was also used, I remember him being very happy about it when it was being filmed lol.
Wow
holy fuck the resolution to the cow thing had me in stitches.
Yeah, the Serbian film is much funnier. Helpfully named ‘A Serbian Film’, easy to find.
Other than the Scandinavian part, this could be about "Funny People." The most depressing "comedy" I have ever seen.
Or "Funny Games". I was not ready for that one.
Have you seen the English-language remake? It's quite a bit better.
That does explain Norsemen being the way it is. Highly recommended btw. It pulls zero punches, but because it is so ridiculous, it's hard to take it seriously.
I hold against it Du levande which, on one hand, confirms OP's stereotyping, but is - at least to me - uniquely humorous, emotional, and an alround great film.
Tablecloth scene - Du levande

There's also Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann. Better than the novel.
Hey, I watched the latter, it was amazing, maybe in part because I had no expectations about it
Which language if I may ask? Dubbed or subtitled? I'm not Swedish, watched it subtitled. But still picked up a little on some jokes that probably won't translate into any language.
I think, it was dubbed in English, or maybe dubbed in Russian, can't really remember that
second link's account is "terminated"
I just copy the description from the actual sauce.
