Norwegian politics


It seems like this film is saying a lot about Norwegian politics. One review I read said that Elling almost worshiped the head of the Labour Party partly because the Labour Party’s policies gave him his apartment. But I felt more like his love for the party must have come from his mother.

Did you get the feeling that someone who understands Norwegian politics would see a lot in this film that one would otherwise miss?

I can't say that I noticed the political stuff much. Elling's Labour Party loyalty was just an amusing side note.
