At the tender age of seven, the young girl in this story suffers from being sent away to live in a Catholic boarding school in 1947, while her father is serving a term in jail for collaborating with the Germans. It is never clear why she was forced to go away to school when her brother wasn't, nor is it clear why she is consistently persecuted by the children in her neighborhood. However, the girl does find some relief from these malign forces with her unfailingly sweet elderly aunt. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

This slapstick comedy has some zingers that hit the mark but others fall flat and deflated. The humor is constructed of puns and sight gags that find their inspiration in two of Sweden's seasoned comics, old Dracula movies, and the spirit of Monty Python. Buff (Trond Kirkvaag) is plagued by an impressive set of incisors, a love of garlic, and strange yearnings on full-moon nights. As it turns out, his odd traits and his genealogical tree both stem from the infamous Count Dracula, an ancestor, in fact. Suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous discrimination on the part of his peers, Buff has no intention of following in the Count's footsteps -- he would rather romance the woman of his dreams in the normal human manner (whatever that is). ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

- Trond Kirkvaag, Knut Lystad, (more)
