Too Much Norway
Marking the centennial of Norway's independence as a country in 2005, this astonishing and humorous film look at what it means to be Norwegian. Using archival footage and revelatory commentary, the film provides an image of the "typical Norwegian" character navigating modern challenges with great seriousness and observes the small nation's attempts to win power and glory by conquering ever more masses of snow and ice. Full of sharp humor and embarrassing insights, this film reveals sides of the seemingly quiet kingdom most foreigners would never expect existed. At the heart of this meditation on Norway and "Norwegianness" lies a more serious question: What will it mean to be Norwegian 100 years from nowfi Will small countries even prosperous ones, like Norway be able to maintain some semblance of uniqueness and identityfi
