don't know it but i'll look for it now.

the nordic people seem to be able to marry humour to dire situations in a really organic and effective way.
I know american film and TV try to do it .. but they don't find the same mix.
There is no joy in the american way of doing it .. i cant articulate it properly...but the sense of dread is never lifted .. it's just heavy gallows humour..

in the swedish film it just felt more real. hard to explain
