A picaresque tale. Odd Horton is dependable and contained: he's a train engineer retiring after 40 years of service, living a simple life. His idea of adventure is to fly from one city in Norway to another. Starting on the night of his retirement dinner, Odd has a series of dislocating experiences: a boy insists that Odd sit by his bedside while he falls asleep; misadventure causes Odd to miss his last run; he witnesses an arrest; he assists an old man and makes a friend; he takes a trip with a blindfolded driver; he adopts a dog; he takes stock late one night at the roundhouse; he revisits his mother's disappointment in him. How should he live the rest of his life?
Leave your thoughts about O'Horten.
| Orlando WeeklyJustin StroutO' Horten moves slowly, sometimes excruciatingly so, but its thematic center is strong: How do you run out the clock of life? |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumJack Nicholson's dyspeptic retiree in "About Schmidt" would no doubt identify with O'Horten's entertaining pain. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesBent Hamer has proved himself an apt pupil of such deadpan comic filmmakers as Jim Jarmusch and Aki Kaurismaki. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA slow-moving, slightly absurdist look at a man in Norway who has begun his retirement. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertOdd is played by Baard Owe, a trim, fit man with a neat mustache, who may cause you to think a little of James Stewart, Jacques Tati or Jean Rochefort. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunWhatever it all means, O'Horten is a bit of whimsy held together by the wonderful face of actor Bard Owe. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA gentle, deadpan comedy-drama...you shouldn't miss the opportunity to make the acquaintance of this wryly observant little film. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrO'Horten is a precise, deadpan drama of slapstick existentialism - a Bent Hamer movie, in other words. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Quiet and lovely, its subtle pleasures reminded me of Erik Satie's 'Gymnopedie.' |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin...a fable that relies less on fantastical transport than the defrosting of cool faculties; less on the titillation of the senses than the thawing of frozen hearts. |
