It's Good To Have A Dream ...

by Todd Brown, September 8, 2008 1:35 AM

Taking a wee break here from my non-stop TIFF coverage because this one is just far too good not to get online right away. It's the trailer for Fatso, the self-described most unromantic comedy ever from Erik Poppe's production outfit Paradox, based on the book by Lars Ramslie. And what's it about? Ahem ...

Rino Hanssen is 30 years old, obsessed with porn, and has never been with a woman. He lives in an apartment owned by his father, and he has only one friend: the asthmatic, misanthropic Filip. Suddenly his father rents out one of the rooms in the apartment to a young girl called Malin, an emancipated and seemingly unconcerned individual who seeks affirmation through sex, friends and a wild life. All of a sudden, Rino's strong fortress has been invaded by the world which he has worked so long on shutting out. Through his acquaintance with Malin and her friends, Rino gradually takes the chance of becoming part of the world he through his entire life has tried to avoid, and he is doomed to fail!

The first teaser is brilliant and hysterically funny. It would also be a red-bander if it were an American film so while I don't think it's extreme enough to put it behind the work safe filter here you'll definitely want to be aware of who's standing behind you when you watch it.

"Through his acquaintance with Malin and her friends, Rino gradually takes the chance of becoming part of the world he through his entire life has tried to avoid, and he is doomed to fail!"

What does this mean? He is doomed to fail at avoiding the world, or at becoming part of it?

"...you’ll definitely want to be aware of who’s standing behind you when you watch it..."

Well, that's already true for the poster itself, isn't it?
(Made ME duck and hit Alt F4, as my boss was in the room...)
