The Norwegian director Bent Hamers latest flick from 2007 is a magnificent art house gem and in my opinion the best Norwegian movie in years. The movie follows the retired train driver Odd Horten (played by Bård Owe) while he phlegmatically drives through life without any clue whatsoever. The storyline is backed up by a warm and familiar visual narration, unforthcoming dialouge and dry subtle humor. (Oh, and Odd is a common boys name and does not mean strange in Norway).
Also, download John Erik Kaadas fantastic "O'Horten theme"/"Hardangervidda", regardless if you watch the movie or not
