This was the slowest, slice of life, "cottage core" piece of media I have ever seen.

Gubben i stugan/ the old man in the cottage. Only available in Sweden.

One hour and a half tells the story of a year with Ragnar in his cottage in the middle of nowhere, Sweden. Slow paced, Ragnar does not say a word during this whole film, the only sounds you hear are nature, his radio, and other things he does.

I became jealous when he took a bath in his outdoor bathtub. That seems like a true luxury.

I only saw bits and pieces of it because it was both interesting and boring.

Quarantine movie asks

@1920s-obsessed​ and @my-little-kraken​ tagged me for this, thank you both so very much! Loved reading yours. Here are mine:

Favourite movie: “Our hospitality”. I really treasure everything about this beauty.

Movie that makes you remember your childhood: “Babe”. The only movie I saw on the big screen during my teens. My friend and I sneaked to the cinema without our parents knowing, to see this, we were so bad!

Favourite Tom Hanks movie: “The ladykillers”, without a doubt.

Favourite Disney movie:  I loved the first silent-ish half of “Wall-E” (because of how much that cute little robot and his business reminded me of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin). But my favourite ever animation is “Hoodwinked!”, no Disney.

Movie that makes you cry: Every time Lillian Gish tries to emote trauma or drama or sorrow or innocence lost she really gets to me.

Favourite 80s movie: “The purple rose of Cairo”. This period is seriously underrepresented in my watch list, though.

Favourite comedy: Every comedy by Buster Keaton or with Rock Hudson.

Favourite sports movie: Buster Keaton’s “College”.

Favourite courtroom movie: These never hold my attention. I’d like to go outside when watching a movie.

Favourite horror movie: “The hands of Orlac” (1924). Oh my. Conrad Veidt and his outrageous horrified looks at his horrible new hands.

Most overrated movie: “The artist” maybe. Mostly because I was so disappointed it was not more like a real silent movie. It’s pace, it’s focus, it’s intertitles.

Favourite gangster movie: “The informer” (1929). This gangster drama silent with heaps of bad choices by everyone got me glued to the screen. Plus Lars Hanson and Lya De Putti.

Favourite war movie: “Mrs. Miniver” impressed me. And “1917”.

Movie you can watch over and over again: All of Buster Keaton’s films! Of course. Including the painful ones, sadly. But what can a girl do. Also a year doesn’t go by without rewatching “It’s always fair weather” and “Lover come back” or “Send me no flowers”, my go-to comfort movies.

Movie with the best soundtrack: I really like to say thanks to Carl Davis here. For making his beautiful, beautiful orchestral scores for so many of my beloved silents. Whenever it’s possible I look for versions accompanied by his music. I sometimes even put on DVDs only to listen to the score (and imagine the movie).

Favourite Christmas movie: “Annie” and “It’s a wonderful life”.

Movie you’re embarrassed that you love: “Gubben i stugan” (1996). The old man in the cottage: basically a whole year in the life of an old man in his small forest cottage in Sweden, still living the way he did as a young man with his parents, the way they and the seasons taught him. This is 89 minutes of looking at nothing, really, still it is so relaxing, it doesn’t feel like a waste of time. I can’t be embarrassed about it. It’s just that I would love to find someone who’s weird enough to love this too! (You could try, it’s on YT.)

Favourite sequel: I can’t name one.

Favourite period drama: “Jude” with Christopher Eccleston and Kate Winslet. It’s just so raw and true. I still want to read the book by Thomas Hardy.

Favourite DC movie: I have no idea what DC means, so I’m going to say my favourite Leonardo DiCaprio movie is “Inception”.

Favourite movie quote:

Sigh.

I’m going to tag everyone of my followers who likes to list their quarantine favourites too. I’d love to see more suggestions! Especially silents.

Tack för hjälpen med lasset till återbruket @micke_pihl_83 och tack för besöket till resten av familjen Phil! @zarapihl, jag tycker pizza lunchen va en bra idé! 👌😎. Fler lass blir det med skit ändå, man hitta ju lite skit ifrån gubben innan här, haft nå typ av loft på lilla stugan på tomten, där uppe hitta jag och Micke gamla metall bottnar till extrasängar. En gammal spis med mera skit! Nu lite lugnt med vyn i bakgrunden, strax hänga tvätt och fixa matlådor! 😀 #söndagshäng #återbruket #utmeddetgamla #rensairöran #pizzalunch #njuteravutsikten (på/i Bodarne, Uddsarvet och Åkre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFXBKa9jXOY/?igshid=1jjduvsnv8hhb

Gubben I Stugan

I hope you don't have anything planned for the next hour and a half, because this arrestingly majestic old man will have you glued. 

Major thanks to my friend Adam for pointing me in his direction.
