I copied this over from IMDB...
" I just wanted to mention that Petter Naess himself introduced this movie at The Norwegian International Film Festival in Haugesund a couple of weeks ago. In his speech he told us that the final cut is not as bad/different as he had feared, but he really hates the music. Since then the movie also has been released in theathers here in Norway, and the reviews in the largest newspapers has been quite good (mostly 4 or 5 out of 6), but just about every critic comments on the bad choice of music."
I confirmed this myself by calling one of the producers, who heard from Petter Naess that indeed, Norway is generally giving the movie a thumbs up with all of its faults
Meanwhile, in the USA, Sony has bought the DVD rights and the movie, possibly improved will finally be available in early 2007.
