Nordic Angst
REGRETTERS
Marcus Lindeen
SWEDEN, 2010, 60 MINUTES
Mikael and Orlando are two aging Swedes with something unusual in common: They are both biological males who have undergone sex reassignment surgery but now wish to ‘change back.’ The pair’s startling testimony forms a complex philosophical interrogation of gender performance and selfhood.

Kaspar Astrup Schröder

Mads Brügger
DENMARK, 2009, 87 MINUTES

STEAM OF LIFE
Joonas Berghäll, Mika Hotakainen
FINLAND, 2010, 81 MINUTES
STERLING WORLD COMPETITION
It’s neither a therapist’s office nor a lover’s bed where Finnish men’s deepest feelings about life, love and family are brought to the surface: It’s the sauna. The film allows the viewer to become a fly on the wall as it listens in on men—naked men—talking to other men (or occasionally a grizzly bear) in the sanctuary of the country’s ubiquitous saunas.

MEN WHO SWIM
Dylan Williams

When a British man living in Sweden is on the brink of turning 40, he combats his mid-life crisis by joining a men’s synchronized swimming team.

THE LIVING ROOM OF THE NATION
Jukka Kärkkäinen
FINLAND, 2009, 74 MINUTES
Lives unfold with brutal intimacy in a collection of Finnish living rooms in a film balancing near-slapstick hilarity with inescapable Nordic angst. Irony mixes with pathos, dysfunction and heartfelt soul searching in a film that compels a closer look.

Nicole N. Horanyi
