Kitchen Stories

Kitchen Stories was a movie based in Norway. Its a odd concept to a movie plot, but overall the movie was really quite sweet. You just have to be patient, because it grows a little long. But its about these men from Sweden who come to Norway to observe Norwegian men and there habits and everything in their kitchen.  Folke Nilssons is a researcher who is assigned to study the habits of Isak Bjørvik, an older gentleman. But the thing is if you are and observer/researcher you are not allowed to talk to the other man because you will disrupt his habits and the study will be ruined. You could see the Swedish culture in Folke Nilssons food choice, which was a nasty looking fish and a few other things.
The landscaping was much like Minnesota, it had many pine trees and it was snowing. And if you weren't told differently you might think it was Minnesota.
Overall this was a very cute movie but there weren't very many comparisons you could make because there wasn't much dialog in the beginning.
