Anne Sewitsky's debut film Happy, Happy is billed as a comedy. This low budget Norwegian film is set in Norway and perhaps that is why is supposed to be funny: quirky characters, lots of snow, and an occasional chorus that sings pop songs in English. There is, in fact a lovely scene that involves two lovers running naked in the snow.
Happy, Happy is the country's selection for the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film and it also won the World Grand Cinema Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Film Festivall and was selected for the prestigious New Directors/New Film Series in New York. The film is currently playing in theaters.
