Typical Swedish comedy (?). Extremely droll, black humor which mostly serves to illustrate the pointlessness of the struggle of life. Bleak, institutional interiors. Constant rain and thunderstorms outside. Humiliation, social pain and ostracism everywhere...interspersed with some genuinely funny moments.
For whatever reason, I have a taste for this stuff (see Songs from the Second Floor) and enjoyed this one, in a lop-sided, left-handed sort of way.
