Nobody does quirky and bittersweet better than those outrageously funny Scandinavians.
‘A Man Called Ove’ directed by Hannes Hol is one of the biggest locally produced films ever to have come out of Sweden, recognised internationally with two Oscar nominations including Best Foreign Language Film and the European Film Award for Best Comedy.
Ove is a deliciously cantankerous retiree who spends his days enforcing block association rules that no-one else cares about and visiting his wife’s grave.
The arrival of boisterous new neighbours shakes his regimented life in ways he would have never imagined. What emerges is a heart-warming tale of unreliable first impressions and the gentle reminder that life is sweeter when it’s shared.
A Man Called Ove screens at Salisbury Arts Centre on Wednesday October 4 at 7.30 pm.
Tickets are £8, available online at www.salisburyartscentre.co.uk or from Salisbury Arts Centre box office on 01722 321744.
