Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This is peak 1960s Norwegian 'folkelig' cinema — working-class families thumbing noses at bourgeois respectability, a beloved national trope.

Trivia

Director Knut Andersen cast the actual Reymert siblings as three of the four kids — that chaotic energy? Completely authentic sibling dynamics.
