Enthralling with a few hearty laughs. The glacial pace of this film is facilitated by the strong, calm presense of Peter Dinklage (Finn) whose resolute solitude is interuppted by invading neighbors. Dinklage's performance was top notch and filled with nuances not usually seen in an American film. I guffawed at his reaction when the lady storekeeper snapped his picture by the drink cooler. His expression was priceless. The supporting cast (nearly ensemble) was Row A as well.Someone on this forum said they hated to see the film end. In a way I felt the same. It had such a soothing, sedative quality I just didn't want to give it up.
