Kitchen Stories is a film that takes place in Norway and follows a story of an observer and a stubborn, old man. The observer is required to take notes on the kitchen habits of a single man. At first the two get annoyed with eachother, one from Norway and the other from Sweden. Then by the end of the film the two become good friends, which is against the observers policies. The attachment between the two characters is un heard of frm and oter observers and host and they were not supposed to talk to eachother.
The film displays many cultural bridges between the US, Norway, and Sweden. The two characters come from different backgrounds and lifestyles which cause the two to clash at first. The climate of Norway is snowy and cold which is similar to some states in the US. The conversation between the two is very minimal and not as much as people in the US would talk.
I thought this film had a few interesting components. The story was sweet, but at times a little boring. Some parts were funny like when the old man decided he wouldnt cook in his kitchen just to throw the observer off. Animals, mainy horses were very important to the characters displaying a cultural reference.
