5.0 out of 5 starsBUY THIS DVD
By Jay B. Lane TOP 1000 REVIEWER on June 8, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
"...Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared," or "Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann," whichever suits you best. This silly, goofy entry from Sweden (English captions when necessary) is my first rave review from the 2014 Seattle International Film Festival. This black, black comedy played to a packed house; it generated howls of laughter throughout, then thunderous applause when it ended. Some of us laughed all the way home on the bus, too.

Director Felix Herngren crafted a brilliant script along with Hans Ingemansson, which was based on Jonas Jonasson's novel about a Zelig-type fellow who loves blowie uppie stuff. Over the course of this hilarious film, we see him with General Franco of Spain, Josef Stalin, Harry Truman, Albert Einstein's brother, J. Robert Oppenheimer of the Manhattan Project, Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan and others I failed to note at the time.

The movie starts when his beloved cat is killed by a fox...so he promptly blows it up, and it goes on from there. The marvelous script unfolds in a logical way, it just sounds so unlikely!

We follow:
* Robert Gustafsson as Allan Karlsson (brilliant award-winning makeup!), as he ages from a young man who suffers an unfortunate surgery to a very elderly man who loves aquavit or vodka. He has a very simplistic world view and tends to let the big issues roll right off his back.
* Iwar Wiklander as Julius, the cordial fellow who helps our hero with his unwieldy suitcase (you should see how he came by THAT!) and dispose of that pesky corpse.
* David Wiberg is Benny, a perpetual student who never finishes anything he starts. He needs a firm hand.
* Mia Skäringer is Gunilla, who has a very firm hand (and an elephant)!Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsA Pataphysicist's Dream
By Ahmet Celebiler on February 8, 2015
Format: DVD
The absurdity of life, the ignorance of humanity including the most prominent leaders of the last half of the 20th Century, the worthlesness of statistics, the probability of improbables, the rule of paradoxes, contradictions and coincidences are projected in snippets for the viewer to masticate or disregard without any pretention.

One needs no background in sociology or psychology nor any information on Scandinavian peoples and cultures to move along with this film. Yet, the enjoyment bubbles up with empathy not for the main characters but for all the characters and a feeling for their all too obvious humanity.

The acting, the effects, the music, the directing may have added to the enjoyment but none of these factors shone to the detriment of the others. The film was a whole, as well it should be.

The problem for the non-Swedish speaker was the additional absurdity of the subtitles. I felt more inclined to turn off the subtitles and try to guess the conversation, rather than taking time off from the film to decipher the written drivel. (This may be only on the original Swedish version of the film, which I viewed)

If you are someone who thinks that his life has been of great significance, you may actually look down upon all the characters with pity rather than empathy. But, then, you would do well to disregard films like these altogether and move in the kind of realms which are inhabited by breast beating and flag waving heroes, adored by all sexes.

5.0 out of 5 starsAllan Karlsson, a man for the ages
By J. Chambers HALL OF FAMETOP 10 REVIEWER on January 3, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I've never been a huge fan of Swedish movies, probably as a result of seeing too many Ingmar Bergman films in my youth, but I fell for this quirky little film from the outset. On Allan Karlsson's 100th birthday, his nursing home is planning to throw him a party, even baking his favorite cake. To the would-be partiers' disappointment, however, Allan has just gone out the window and gotten on a bus to take him as far as the coins in his pocket will take him. There he takes up with another old geezer named Julius, and with a suitcase full of cash that he was supposedly keeping safe for a thug who left it with him to guard while he went in the restroom, the two are off on a merry adventure, with thugs and the police following hot on their heels.

Allan and Julius's ensuing adventures were bizarre enough, but much of Allan's life was revealed through flashbacks, from his time in the Spanish Civil War through the mid-20th century, with him often hobnobbing with famous persons like Generalissimo Franco, Joseph Stalin, Harry S. Truman, and Robert Oppenheimer. Allan had become adept enough with explosives as a child that his services were always in demand. (If you remember the "How Not to Be Seen" episode from Monty Python's Flying Circus, you'll love one of the explosive scenes).

The film is bizarre, laugh-out-loud funny, and endlessly engaging as Allan and Julius wander from one weird predicament to the next. I gave it 9 stars on IMDB for originality and offbeat comedy. For Amazon, I have no hesitation in giving it 5 stars for marvelous entertainment.

Note that the film is in Swedish with English subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 starsOn DVD at last!
By T. A. Cross on June 9, 2015
Format: DVD
I've been waiting a long time for this to come out on DVD in the United States! I got to watch it with English subtitles on an international flight, and it really is very well done. It has a feel sort of like Being There mixed with Forrest Gump, with essentially a clueless protagonist bumbling along and taking part in many of the biggest events of the 20th century.
