Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
OUT OF NATURE
Mot naturen
Synopsis
Martin is alone on a hiking trip in the mountains to seek a spiritual renewal from his everyday life. We hear all of his uncensored thoughts and brutally honest observations about himself and the people around him, ranging from the trivial and infantile to the existential and profound.

Our take
Following a dissatisfied man at war with himself and the great outdoors, this deft Norwegian comedy is a model of narrative and psychological economy. With a remarkable lead performance from writer-director Ole Giaever, Out of Nature’s surface simplicity delicately masks the sure hand at the wheel.
