RIPON FILM SOCIETY

O’Horten

O’Horten is a taciturn man who, retiring after 40 years of driving trains between Oslo and Bergen, finds his life moving on to different tracks.

Following a bizarre retirement party, he goes on a mini-odyssey in his home city, journeying into a new stage of his life.

Flashes of daft visual humour and some beautiful shots of Norway feature in this gem by the director of Kitchen Stories.

“Thoughtful, funny, slightly sad and superbly crafted.”

Please note that there is only one week between the previous film and this one.
