You like to see good movies? Even when the whole world is collapsing around our ears? How about a movie about the world collapsing around your ears?

Found one. Another Norwegian gem. It breaks my rules. I normally don’t do movies about criminals and lawbreakers who get into jams. Made an exception because I had run out of Scandinavian TV series to show my beloved. But it got a high Metascore at IMDB.com, and there was nothing on while the snow was coming down in heaps. What’s a poor boy to do?

Good caption for the movie. We get this guy who is not a hero. In fact, he’s like a human rat, a corporate headhunter living beyond his means and married to a supermodel who is WAY beyond his expected reach. He’s also an art thief. Maybe the most admirable thing about him.

What happens next is funny, tragic, violent, and ironic. He recruits the wrong guy, who both cuckolds him and sets him up for complete loss. A headhunter of a different kind. Our guy really does lose everything, up to and including having to throw all his clothes and other personal items into a winter Norwegian river. Twice.

Rebirth sometimes requires more than one take. But the fun part [SPOILER ALERT!] is that when it comes down to ruthless ruthlessness, a corporate headhunter is more ruthlessly full of ruthless ruthlessness than a special forces hitman.

As we all knew from before.

Watch. It’s a good recommendation, subtitles and all.
