Norway, the middle of winter, the doors of the local prison open, Ulrik is free! But the joy is not exactly his face read, he trudges slowly out through the snow. The man has just twelve years in prison for a murder and arrived in the city waiting Rune Jensen, his gangster boss, him again. Saying goodbye to the hard gangster life is there for the time being not yet. Jensen has during the absence of Ulrik care financially for Ulrik's wife and son, he also has a home and job arranged for Ulrik. Once settled course Ulrik against various problems, the relationship with his son is also problematic, the same goes for his relationships with women, and he must also put a bullet through his betrayer. Ulrik is a gentle man, but how gentle he can stay with so many problems?
Layered characters
A Somewhat Gentle Man is a pitch-black comedy with a good dose of drama. Take his relationship with his landlady, she is a very unfriendly divorced woman who looks to put it mildly not too groomed, Hans Petter Moland knows how to put her down as a person of flesh and blood as the film progresses always aandoenlijker begins behave. The way they Ulrik tries to win is very witty and yet also intriguing because the characters are not caricatures but people of flesh and blood remain. You smile when you see her wearing a very wrong kinky dress, dancing on a Polish version of Idols, but at the same time this creates a kind of pity for her. Her unkempt appearance and general attitude to the rest of the world turns out to be more than a way for her to protect herself, once out which shell you see the emotional side of Ulrik's landlady.
This emotional depth is rarely expressed in words, you'll have yourself a little fish but once thoughtful about it, you will appreciate the film a lot more. The subtle tones of emotions is also very well done, of course, in the first place by all interacting fantastic cast members. Bjørn Floland put the gangster boss Rune Jensen down very well in combination with the script and the direction is again created a layered character. The real star is obviously Stellan Skarsgård for his roles in Hollywood productions, he played as Bootstrap Bill in the last two parts of Pirates of the Caribbean. Here shines Skarsgard as former detainee Ulrik, he gives the rest initially in the character dwells very good down to as the film progresses to express more and more emotions. Also impressive appearance with ponytail, these draft not in the way, what makes game more interesting.
Somber and slow
For almost the entire film is the winter, combined with the little colorful mise en scene this provides a very gritty film. The atmosphere is therefore one hand depressing because of the many problems, the unkempt and blunt characters and gray images. Still ensuring the full present humor and positive emotive scenes for pleasant bright spots in the dreary world of Ulrik. The slow pace, however, is sometimes too much of a good thing, making the film occasionally inkakt is incidentally does this film not further the tie around.
Conclusion
Somewhat slow film full layered characters that are put down by their outstanding actors. A film about a man who wants to leave his gangster life behind. A film about everyday problems. But above all, a film that apparently thin line between tragedy and happiness in daily practice and provides both drama and humor.
