This film - especially toward the beginning - contains intermittent 3rd person narrative a la Amelie, but with none of the quirkiness or art. Moreover, these lighthearted voice-over segments seemed rather out of place with the seriousness of the subject matter. Maybe this was an homage to Bergman or some other cinematic reference but the result is i found it purely pretentious. i don't recommend this film, which i found boring apart from glimpses of Norway and Norwegians and the sideline about the reclusive writer stalked by the 2 main characters (i did find the scene on the bench pretty amusing but somehow the beauty and humor of these 2 writing geeks going to such lengths to capture proof of their prey just fell flat). Finally, like others commenting here, i found it difficult to keep track of what was going on or what had happened.
