& Nordic Cool Nordicana with Kajsa Kinsella
Hilarious!
The 100-Year-Old Man... DVD
Directed by Felix Herngren • Starring Robert Gustafsson
After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, and other definitive events of the 20th
century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. To avoid
extra attention on his 100th birthday, he climbs out the window and onto
the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey. Starring beloved
comedian Robert Gustafsson, this fanciful spin on world history is based
on a best-selling novel (page 30) and is the highest-grossing Swedish
film of all time. Rated R for language. $29.95 HBK 166D
