2017 Academy Award® Nominee
Wednesday, February 8 | 7:30 pm
A box office smash in its native Sweden, and based on the international bestseller, A Man Called Ove tells the story of the curmudgeonly Ove (Rolf Lassgård), a recently retired widower who strictly polices his small subdivision. Ove finds little joy in his daily routine, however, so little joy in fact that he actively seeks to end things. Enter a spirited young family next door, and Ove soon finds himself in uncomfortably close contact with his new neighbors—with two young girls who take an instant shine to the grumpy Swede, and with their pregnant Persian-immigrant mother. An audience favorite at festival after festival, the darkly comic A Man Called Ove is now a 2017 double Academy Award® nominee for Best Foreign Language film and Best Achievement in Makeup & Hairstyling.
