A Fistful of Kebab is one of those quirky gems that sticks with you. Set in a dusty kebab dive, it’s a wild mix of Western tropes and absurd humor, anchored by a nameless stranger who stirs up chaos among twelve heavily armed men. The pacing is unconventional; it lingers in moments of tension, then blasts you with sudden bursts of action. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a raw charm that adds to the film's unique atmosphere. The performances feel genuine, almost like a snapshot of a time and place merging cultures in an unexpected way. It’s certainly distinct in its approach, making it a curious watch for those who appreciate offbeat cinema.
A Fistful of Kebab is somewhat of a rarity in the collector's circuit, given its obscure origins and limited release. This film has seen a few formats, but it’s the early VHS copies that seem to pique the most interest for their nostalgic value. The blend of genres, particularly its status as Norway's first kebab western, makes it a fascinating piece for thematic collections, drawing in fans of both Westerns and offbeat international films.
