A Man Called Ove
(Cert: 15A)
MONDAY 18 September | 8pm €8/6.50 | Duration: 116mins | Language: Swedish, Persian Ove is a retiree struggling to come to terms with the death of his wife - a struggle that he angrily takes out on his neighbours. Ove’s world is unexpectedly turned upside down when a young family move in next door. Despite his initial resistance, Ove slowly forms a bond with his new neighbours and discovers a whole new side of life. Based on a novel and nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2017 Oscars®, this Swedish hit is a true crowd-pleaser held together by a remarkable lead performance. (English Subtitles)
