Director & Writer: Felix Herngren This film follows the progress of Allan Karlsson, a simple man with a predilection for blowing things up, after he leaves his nursing home to embark on a journey that will take him wherever it takes him. Through flashbacks we see that this is a metaphor for his entire life. Karlsson has, it turns out, been with several significant figures of the 20th century and, unwittingly, has profoundly affected its course. The film is comic, darkly comic, absurdist, farcical, a chase caper, an espionage thriller and, finally, peaceful. It is all of these things successfully in a way that Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" attempted to be, but didn't quite manage. More importantly, the characters are entirely believable despite the often fantastical story lines. It is also beautifully shot. And this film shines because of its unpredictability and fast pace. You never know what's coming next and the movie keeps up relentless pace, not letting you dwell on the unlikeness of the things happening on screen, which serves the film's purposes very well. The characters and their actors are also very charismatic and fun to follow around. Sure they're a bit stereotypical, aside from the main character, but that doesn't really bother you as you're watching them go because the events they're in are so bizarre. "Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans." — Allen Saunders I give it a 4/5 on my bingeable list. #the100yearoldmanwhoclimbedoutthewindowanddisappeared #robertgustafsson #bingewatching #moviestowatch #movie #funnymovie #oldguy #adventure #adventuretime #poster #swedishmovie #academyawards #bestselling #basedonnovel #dope #movieclips #movienight #movie_time #movietime🎬 #movielovers #movieaddict #moviereviews #moviebuff #classicmovie (at Delhi, India) https://www.instagram.com/xbinnylouis/p/BwcahZ7nlhX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kh79wskh7s6m
