Product Description

Family is the most important thing in the world to Kaja. She is an eternal optimist in spite of living with a man who would rather go hunting with the boys, and who refuses to have sex with her because she "isn't particularly attractive" anymore. Whatever. That's life. But when the perfect couple moves in next door, Kaja struggles to keep her emotions in check. Not only do these successful, beautiful, exciting people sing in a choir; they have also adopted a child from Ethiopia! These new neighbors open a new world to Kaja, with consequences for everyone involved. And when Christmas comes around, it becomes evident that nothing will ever be like before even if Kaja tries her very best.

excellent script about 4 people

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

written as though it might have been a play. about the relationships of two couples as they meet for the first time and then spend time together. some very awkward scenes, and purposely so. each character is working their way through certain personal issues, and that of course how they interact with each other. excellent script, well acted and directed.

Strange but interesting

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2012

I agree with several of the other reviewers who expressed some confusion about the intent of this film. Perhaps the problem comes somewhat with the translation of the title, which, in Norwegian, is more like "Insanely Happy." Then there is the really strange presence of the barbershop quartet, four clean cut white guys in suits, singing American gospel type songs in a snappy way. Maybe they are supposed to be a sort of Greek chrous, pointing out the irony of supposed happiness in an unhappy world? Sort of a throwback to American tv shows of the 50's? Is that it? Is the film making a comment about the futility of Kaja, the main character, to pretend to be happy, who smiles a lot, even when being abused by her nincompoop husband and bratty child? Maybe that's what it's supposed to be telling us.

Anyway the scenery is beautiful if you like snow..(I do) and the actors are very good. The plot is simple and effective: an educated Danish couple rents a house in rural Norway for awhile. We learn, early on, that it's because the woman has had an affair and this is their way of getting away from that. She is a lawyer, and they are obviously very liberal as they adopted a child from Africa. They rent a house from a couple, their same age, with their own son, the same age as the African boy. They are not in the same league as the visitors, as Elisabeth makes plain at some point later in the film. Kaja, the local woman, is very impressed with Elisabeth, whom she sees as very beautiful and self confident and seems to have a perfect life with a perfect huband. It's an interesting setup and the plot unfolds, a bit predictably but with enough surprises to keep you interested. If it were not for the presence of the Barbershop Quartet, this would be a simple, effective, quiet drama.

As another reviewer said, this is best seen by fans of Indie films. I think, personally, it might be most meaningful to Scandinavian audiences. Something about living for so many months with no sun, gives a different perspective on things.

The movie throughout is underexposed, so it's hard to see what's going on.

About various kinds of slavery

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2014

I enjoyed the movie - and the gospel group with banjo (I'm searching for their name); I play the same repertoire on my banjo and I believe, the idea for the film-script was influenced by the aim to feature the feelings of "how you feel if you are sold" = the subtitle of the book which the little black boy was reading in his bed. "Amazing Grace" was in focus too with the lyrics: "I was blind but now I see" - I enjoyed the movie very much because the plot introduces various kinds of slavery: to be adopted (I was adopted too), to suffer under kids with sado-maso games; to live in a false marriage etc. - the gospel group, appearing like an ancient Greek chorus, was the frame of this statement of existentialism: ending in the decision to run away...

Not really a comedy but entertaining and good

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2012

In backwoods Norway a young married couple with a son rent their adjoining house to another young family from the city. Everyone discovers something about themselves in this quirky independent entertaining film.

There are a lot of plots taking place at once.
The rural couple has an unhappy marriage and the perky wife Kaja is getting less perky and more horny.
The new couple have moved out to the country when the husband discovered his wife's affair and wanted a change of scenery. They have a black son, possibly adopted but it could also be the mother's from another man.
The rural white child is disturbed from the strained family dynamics and can be bullying and insulting.
The younger quiet black boy is just discovering what it means to be black in a white world.
The new couple and the perky wife join a church chorus as she has always wanted to sing but had been told she had a terrible voice.
There is a male quartet who does American standard musical interludes as a Greek chorus. (Are they connected with the church choir?)
The two couples interact over dinners and games and secrets and passions are revealed.

The acting is great as is the photography. There is a great soundtrack. It almost becomes a quirky comedy but it also almost becomes a darker more unhappy film and this tension continues to the end. There is a lot of love and finding yourself in this movie and most importantly it treats the audience as well as the screen couples as grown-ups. The story is about problems but they might yet work out as life moves on.

Would say to others watch it but do not expect a very lively performance. Bit drab and slow. But will keep in my collection.

Brilliant Drama Comedy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

I found “Happy, Happy” (original title “Sykt lykkelig”), to be a brilliant, quirky drama comedy. I'd say that the emphasis is more on the drama than the comedy, although I did find it very funny at times. There's a number of different themes or topics running throughout the film, and all are delivered with varying amounts of drama, comedy and observation. Director Anne Sewitsky, lets the audience find out about situations and about the personas of the characters by showing their behaviour (I'm thinking especially so with regard to a subplot that runs through the film with some of the supporting cast of characters) in a way that is very much show and not tell – and it isn't all easy viewing.

Lead actress, Agnes Kittelsen is superb as are the other main actors and actress, and with director Anne Sewitsky and everyone else working behind the camera, they have all made a very believable film.

Some of those “behind the camera” people are the musicians involved in the film. Music and its performers, has a significant role in “Happy, Happy”, both as part of the personas of some of the characters and also as the soundtrack which is presented in a quirky way.

“Happy, Happy” is the first film that I've seen directed by Anne Sewitsky. It was her first feature film and she also takes some of the writing credits. On the strength of this film, I am going to look for some of her other films, something that I'll also do with the cast and especially so with the lead actress Agnes Kittelsen.

On the DVD (ASIN: B00A6SPTOI) you get:

“Happy, Happy (1 hour 25 minutes)

Optional English Subtitles

There is also a number of trailers for other films before the start of the film.

"Soll ich's noch Mal versuchen?"

Reviewed in Germany on September 12, 2013

Spätestens als Kaja(Agnes Kittelsen) Sigve(Henrik Rafaelsen) diesen Vorschlag macht, hat mich Regisseurin Anne Sewitzky voll und ganz für ihren Film -Happy Happy- begeistert. Andere Besprechungen hin und andere Kritiker her, wer Independent Kino mit Herz, Witz und jeder Menge detailverliebter Komik mag, der wird sich für -Happy Happy- mehr als nur ein bisschen erwärmen können. Nicht umsonst wurde die norwegische Produktion für den besten ausländischen Film ins Oscarrennen geschickt und gewann beim Sundance Film Festival.

Kaja und Eirik(Joachim Rafaelsen) leben mit ihrem Sohn Theodor(Oskar Hernaes Brandsoe) auf dem norwegischen Land. Da ist die Einsamkeit vorprogrammiert. In der Ehe läuft es schlecht. Kaja giert nach Liebe, die Eirik nicht zu vergeben hat. Er verbündet sich mit dem Sohn, mehr oder weniger, gegen die Mutter. Dann vermieten die beiden ein zweites Haus an Sigve, seine Frau Elizabeth(Maibritt Saerens) und deren afrikanisches Adoptivkind Noa(Ram Shibhab Ebedy). Für Kaja ein Segen, für Eirik zunächst lästig. Während die Kinder Noa und Theodor seltsame Spiele spielen, kommen sich Kaja und Sigve schon beim ersten gemeinsamen Essen gefährlich nah. Als Elizabeth und Sigve dem Chor der Gemeinde beitreten, lässt sich später auch Kaja zum Singen überreden. Aber da steht das Leben der beiden Einsiedlerfamilien schon Kopf. Kaja und Sigve haben ihren Spaß, Noa und Theodor kommen irgendwie klar, Eirik lüftet ein Geheimnis und Elizabeth ist überhaupt nicht begeistert. Ganz zum Schluss jedoch... aber nein, das wird jetzt nicht verraten. Das schauen sie sich doch lieber selbst an...

Anne Sewitzky hat das richtig gut gemacht. Unkonventionell, clever und interessant hat sie die 84 Minuten Beziehungskistenabenteuer in einen frischen, recht frivolen Film gepackt. Die einzelnen Kapitel des Storybooks werden jeweils durch eine Acapella-Combo eingeleitet, die mit dem eigentlichen Film so wirklich gar nichts zu tun hat und brillant singt. Den Rest der Begeisterung bei mir verursachten Bilder von nackten Menschen, die mit Gummistiefeln durch den Schnee hopsten, eine Agnes Kittelsen, die so putzig süß und verhuscht ist, dass es einem die Tränen in die Augen treibt und einem Ende, das wirklich hervorragend gewählt ist.

Also: Lass sie alle schreiben, was sie wollen. Selber anschauen macht schlau! Probieren sie ihr Glück, aber vertrauen sie mir auch nicht blind. Sie müssen ein Independent-Fan sein, gute Geschichten mögen und auf die kleinen, aber feinen Details achten, Dann wird -Happy Happy- ihnen einen wunderbaren Filmabend bereiten...
