MAN WHO LOVED YNGVE,THE (MANNEN SOM ELSKET YNGVE)

Dir: Stian Kristiansen, Norway, 2008, 35mm, 90min
Norwegian with English subtitles
Genre: Drama, Foreign Language, Romance
Identity: Gay

It’s 1989 and the world is experiencing a major shift with the collapse of the Berlin Wall. In a small Norwegian town, 17-year-old Jarle’s life is also undergoing some radical upheavals – he’s started a band with his best mate, and he’s going out with a girl, Katarine, whom he’s been chasing for months. But the biggest shock is when a new student, Yngve, arrives in school, and Jarle is instantly smitten. The tennis-playing, David Sylvian-loving Yngve is a million miles from the punk-stylings of Jarle and his band – whose big song is 'Pussy Satan Anarchy Commando' – but for how long can he keep his feelings secret?

Coming out stories are a staple of queer films but rarely do they hit the mark as authentically as here. The filmmakers have succeeded in creating a movie with a mature feel while capturing the energy of youth, led by the wonderful performance of Rolf Kristian Larsen as Jarle. With a non-stop soundtrack of songs from the era by such bands as The Cure, R.E.M., The Stone Roses and, um, Roxette, The Man Who Loved Yngve is bound to be an audience favourite. (PT)
