Cool And Crazy on the Road - DVD
Availability: Out Of Stock
In his 2001 documentary Cool and Crazy, Norwegian filmmaker Knut Erik Jensen introduced us to a group of men from a small fishing village in Norway who find purpose, companionship, and even fame as members of the Berlevåg Male Choir. Now in the sequel, we witness this group of Scandinavian singers encounter a nation in mourning as they cross the Atlantic for their first U.S. tour, only 3 weeks after the tragedy of September 11th.
The Berlevåg Male Choir is a group of about 30 fishermen--the youngest age 30, the oldest in his 90s--from a little village on the banks of the Barents Sea with a practically uninterrupted view all the way to the North Pole. Their harsh lifestyle has made these men resolute and strong natured. When the men arrive in post 911 America, their fortitude is a source of inspiration for the fragile people they encounter. As the men tour the country singing, they bring hope and wisdom to their audiences through timeless songs of faith and joy that touch all those they meet. They also find fun, cutting a swath across America in their tour bus--sightseeing in New York City, dancing in the streets at a Hollywood party, sharing trade secrets with fishermen in Cape Cod, and touring Elvis' recording studio in Memphis.
In English and Norwegian with English subtitles. DVD, 105 minutes.
