Bothersome Man, The

Aroview: A black comedy with a typically Scandinavian sense of absurdity and style, in which an amnesiac finds himself in an unfamiliar city with a new job, apartment and girlfriend.

The quirky 'office drone' satire is taken to a sub-conscious extreme, with its paranoid, dream-like premise inspiring a number of amusingly surreal set pieces. The engaging lead presence of the toussle-haired Aurvaag as the 'bothersome' one carries this through the odd thin patch, while the final punch-line makes it a shaggy-dog story with bite.
