And Roger is also enmeshed in an extracurricular affair with another woman. He has a wife that seems to be extremely high maintenance.
One of the things that makes this movie a little complicated to start with is the fact that it kicks off completely in full swing. Clas wants to join Pathfinder, a company that Roger is placing an executive for. Clas is a an ex-executive at HOTE, which is a high tech GPS company. Now, when Roger joins his wife Diana (Synnøve Macody Lund) for a show at her gallery, she introduces him to Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). But when he meets up with Lotte (Julie Ølgaard) he ends the relationship. Among all of Roger’s shortcomings, his art fencing isn’t the least of his failings, he also has a mistress on the side as well. And it is through Ove that Roger is able to gain entrance to the various houses he needs to get into in order to snag the valuable paintings. In order to make these painting transactions happen, he has partnered Ove, an individual who happens to work at a surveillance company. To make up the difference, Roger steals paintings and fences them on the weekends. Only problem is that he lives well beyond his means as he tries to keep his tall “trophy wife” happy. And he’s paid very handsomely for his ability to find just the right candidate for just the right position. Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) happens to be one of Norway’s most brilliant talent scouts (aka Headhunter). But what actually happened – “BECAUSE I AM CONFUSED!” OK, let’s break this movie down. This film had more triple gainers going for it than any movie I’ve seen in a while. But I’m really digressing now.) so you are most likely going to need to turn on the English subtitles. As well as German, and French and Spanish.
And believe it or not, they do not speak English in Norway (well, actually, most everyone I’ve met from Norway speak English better than I do.
Because, like I said at the outset, this film is a Norwegian film.
But yeah, if, like Trump, you have an aversion to reading subtitles (first I’d like you to just leave my site) this film will not be for you.
