A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The original Elling film is one of my all time favourite movies, but I found the prequel Mors Elling (Mother's Elling) a bit disappointing. So I was a little apprehensive about this, the third and final film in the trilogy, but in the end I wasn't disappointed. Petter Næss, who directed the first film, but not Mors Elling, was back in the director's chair, and I think it shows.Overall, Elsk meg i morgen (Love Me Tomorrow) is a little darker and more sombre than its predecessor, but it has a lot of subtlety and emotional weight. The acting is superb, and I would definitely recommend you watch this film if you get the opportunity. (Although you'll probably have to try to get hold of the Norwegian DVD release, which does have English subtitles.) I would though recommend that you watch the original Elling film first, as Elsk meg i morgen kind of assumes you know the main characters already. You don't need to watch Mors Elling to appreciate either of the later films though, it just provides more background.

Saw "Elsk meg i Morgen" i Trondheim this night. (Ocktober 30-2005) After the disappointment of "Mors Elling", it was great to see Elling and Kjell Bjarne together again. Kjell Barne has moved out, and live one floor up for Elling with his girl and child, and they find Elling very sick inn his apartment. But tings get better, and Elling is soon back on his feet's, and falls for a girl who works at a hot-dog stand. Elling have a extremely low self esteem, and I don't think he finds himself very interesting, but he tries to hide it. He struggles to find his place in the world, and admires and is kind of jealous of people who has figured it out. He also a naive view of the world, and old values and pride haunts his actions and views of things. And this hits him in the face quite often. His mental healths depends on how the world treat him, and when his on top of things he seems to blossoms of pride and self esteem, but he is really scared underneath. And when the world hits him, he falls apart.I really liked this movie. It made me smile, and it made me sad. Elling tries very hard to live like everybody else, he really does, but "our" world is not the world Elling thinks he lives in. His like a naive child who tries to do grown up things, and thats a recipe of disaster for him. And to see Elling go thru this is quite sad. There is warmth here, and a lot of compassion, and this human drama is very well don in this excellent movie. Go see it!

Oslo looks real good in this movie, the photographer gathered all good shots with the right angles and getting the not so nice bits out of focus as appropriate.Also its a good story, you feel for poor Elling through all his lies and his 'snobbery'. When he meets a girl in a hot dog stand he likes, he lies to her to attract her interest about having been abducted by aliens while hunting in the wilderness.The humour is 'grown up' without losing appeal for an younger audience.Per Christian Ellefsen is very good as Elling here, I cant comment on the first film in the trilogy as I haven't seen it, but in 'Mors Elling' he came through quite annoying.
