Nordic Oscar Contenders: A Man Called Ove

A Man Called Ove is the comic and touching tale of Ove, a stubborn, short-tempered, and cantankerous widower who is given a new lease on life after meeting a new and very different neighbor. Based on the international best-selling novel of the same name by Fredrik Backman, and adapted for the screen by writer-director Hannes Holm, A Man Called Ove is one of Sweden’s biggest hits and won the 2016 Audience, Best Actor, and Best Make-Up Guldbagge awards (Sweden’s Academy Awards).

Screening at 7 p.m. in Swedish with English subtitles.
