A rollercoaster ride of feelgoods and feelbads

Like many films depicting drug (ab)use, Den siste revejakta is a rollercoaster ride of feelgoods and feelbads, though this is a more easygoing and thematically less ambitious film than the best in the subgenre. The best thing about Ulrik Imtiaz Rolfsen's film is how well it captures the time and lifestyle in question: the clash between the declining pot-smoking hippie culture and the up-and-coming superficial yuppies. Late-1970s Oslo is vividly recreated, and Carl and Robert - while archetypical - are well realised by script and actors alike. Kristoffer Joner, in particular, manages to make his character come alive with authenticity and zest.Rolfsen (Izzat, Bitre blomster) yet again shows his talent. His direction has progression and narrative drive, and his film looks good in an offhand kind of way. It is also this somewhat undiscerning nonchalance that keeps the film from finding its way to our spines, as our protagonists arguably feel more than we do during these intoxicated ninety minutes. Still, that doesn't take away the fun and entertainment from the equation, of which Den siste revejakta has plenty.*Review written in 2008.

70's stoners in Oslo try to hit just one more deal

This is at the end of the 70's, the dreams of the hippies are to some degree still alive, but shadows of the cold and greedy 80's throw it's long shadows into some "idealistic" drug traders.

The movie is an ode to that culture and how it destroyed itself. It is much fun and has funny episodes and characters aplenty.

Joner is great as always, he is one of the most versatile actors in Norwegian cinema. The ever-present Bjørn Sundquist makes a good Stalin-Knudsen, the chief of the drug-police who is omnipresent at the wrong times. Robert Skjærstad from "Junk Mail" makes a good role also as the shady dealer Svarten.

Will these children of the revolution get out of it alive?
