Movie No. 5 (2017): A MAN CALLED OVE
A Man Called Ove (2016)
Director: Hannes Holm
Cast: Rolf Lassgard
In Swedish, with English subtitles
We've read stories or seen movies about grumpy old men and their unfortunate daily interactions with their neighbors. The movie, A Man Called Ove, is no different. What makes this movie memorable is the way the movie handles misery, loss, sentimentality, and a stray cat with humor.
