The Great Amateur

About This Movie

The Great Amateur is a curious blend of whimsy and reality set in the quaint town of Fårtuna. Hasse Ekman's direction gives it a light-hearted tone, yet there's a subtle exploration of dreams and aspirations. The pacing meanders like a leisurely stroll through the local market, allowing the characters to breathe. The chief of police doubling as a theater director adds a layer of absurdity, and the performances, particularly from the shop assistant Linda, feel genuine and relatable. The film’s charm lies in its ability to reflect small-town life while simultaneously poking fun at the theatrical world. There's something endearing about its practical effects; they remind you of the magic of low-budget cinema. It’s a delightful watch for those who appreciate the quirks of amateur storytelling.
