I only give 10710 to films which are really great, or to films that touches me deeply on an emotional level. This did.
I knew the film had good critics, but it came as a shock how heartfelt a rollercoaster of emotions this deocumentary is.
First of all it's funny. Some Norwegian well known personalities from TV, radio, music and culture are mixed with 15 others in a male choir, called "The Male Choir", started by the vocalist of DumDum Boys, Prepple Houmb and radioperonality Geir Schau. Every tuesday they meet and rehearse and drink beer. now they have got their biggest concert job ever, thanks to festival general Dvein Bjørge, warming up for Black Sabbath with Ozzy Osbourne. But weeks before they get to know that their choir conductor just have weeks to live, due to cancer. The race is on. Will he experience the big event?
Sometimes very funny, other times very sad, this movie will not let you off. The emotional rollercoaster is a gem of a film, and an experience you'll never forget.
