As its title suggests, “Nothing to Laugh About” addresses a serious subject.
And this is exactly the kind of film that Næss – best known for directing Norway’s 2002 Oscar entry “Elling” – set out to make. Roberto Benigni’s Oscar winner “Life Is Beautiful,” he says, is “not so much a movie about the Holocaust as one about creating illusions.” French hit “The Intouchables” is “not a comedy about a person in a wheelchair, it’s a wonderful movie about an odd couple’s relationship.”
Initially, he admits, he was skeptical though. “I thought it was another movie about spoiled brats in Oslo with too much and who are never satisfied. But suddenly I realized I was wrong and I went on this emotional rollercoaster – I laughed and I cried. I wanted the passengers on the train to one day be able to go to the movie and understand why.”
