31/42
Armand, a 6-year-old boy, is accused of crossing the line against his best friend in elementary school.. Norway’s official entry for the ‘Best International Feature Film’ category at the 97th Academy Awards 2025. Norwegian films generally have a low international standard, but here we have a film that also manages to achieve an extremely low Norwegian standard. It is a rare achievement indeed. The film mostly looks like it was made by first-year film school students. These students set out to make an experimental film that has never been seen before, and they succeeded. However, they forgot a few things. Among other things, they forgot that even bad films usually have a few tricks in the script to keep the audience engaged until the end – some cliffhangers or other film techniques. This film has none of that. It is just extremely bad. In addition, it is arguably the cheapest film ever made. The costs are limited to the actors, camera, lighting and sound crew, and no one in any scene is technically challenged. If you’re strong enough to hold a camera and a microphone, you could make this movie. The movie takes place entirely in the hallways and rooms of a school. They didn’t even bother with sets. This is a school, a county school, and they probably borrowed it for free. The actors don’t do a bad job outright. But it’s hard for actors to play completely bad – it takes an extremely bad director to make actors look bad. So, strictly speaking, it’s not the actors’ fault that the movie is terrible. But since they agreed to take on the roles, their filmography will include their appearance in Armand. It’s not possible to give the movie a 0, but if it were, it would deserve a 0 simply because it doesn’t deserve a 1. By the way, this is Norway’s contribution to this year’s Oscars. The Norwegian Oscar committee decided that this was the best film made in Norway this year. How they came to this conclusion is a mystery, since there have been a lot of bad Norwegian films this year, but Armand is the worst. There are many bad Norwegian films that are far better than this one. For those who don’t know, Norway has no internationally significant actors. By comparison, Sweden and Denmark have many dozens. This film, with its trip to the US and its nomination for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, shows the entire film industry that Norway is, for many practical reasons, a nation without a functioning film environment.
