Very funny, great actors, weird setting, unpredictable narrative, just a great example of a black comedy done right. Stellan Skarsgard and Bruno Ganz are perfectly cast. Maybe the best 'blood in the snow' thriller-comedy since "Fargo". See itVery funny, great actors, weird setting, unpredictable narrative, just a great example of a black comedy done right.

Il ne faut pas croire les clichés : les Vikings et notamment leurs descendants ont de l’humour à revendre !… et même quelques leçons à nous donner, à nous les Franchouillards jadis spécialistes de la comédie, tombés bien bas depuis lors etIl ne faut pas croire les clichés : les Vikings et notamment leurs descendants ont de l’humour à revendre !… et même quelques leçons à nous donner, à nous les Franchouillards jadis spécialistes de la comédie, tombés bien bas depuis lors et englués que nous sommes dans la merdasse commerciale mongolienne avec moult débiles et autres trous de balles comme Omar Sy, Franck Dubosc et consorts… quand ce n’est pas par ailleurs les films intello-bobos gauchisants typiques bien entendu !

Voici donc une comédie policière qui ne manque pas de sel, ni de neige… Il faut pas croire toutes les conneries du réchauffement climatique, car en Norvège, on se gèle le cul à n’en plus finir et les chasse-neiges sont au boulot à temps plein, c’est peu de le dire. Toujours est-il que ce conducteur de chasse-neige va chasser le mafieux et autre trafiquant de drogue… sans crier gare et avec une efficacité inédite.

Puis, l’effet boule de neige aidant, il va provoquer un joyeux et sacré bordel chez les truands… et surtout un bazar sanglant à dire vrai : les macabés, on ne sait plus où les mettre à ce train-là ! Souvent ironiquement drôle et d’un humour glacé, « Refroidis » ne fait pas dans la dentelle. Il abuse un brin des raccourcis cependant, tout en restant à la limite de l’invraisemblance…

Et bien qu’on ne s’y ennuie pas, il aurait gagné à élaguer son propos, car il s’étale un peu trop sur ses quasiment deux heures. La fin ou plutôt l’épilogue n’est pas forcément très concluant non plus mais on ne va pas se plaindre outre-mesure : on ricane bien devant toutes ces cruelles facéties !… Expand

Amusing black comedy that paints in broad strokes and requires suspension of disbelief about the details. The tone of the film is often surprising, initially combining brutality and violence before turning into a savage revenge film. As theAmusing black comedy that paints in broad strokes and requires suspension of disbelief about the details. The tone of the film is often surprising, initially combining brutality and violence before turning into a savage revenge film. As the body count accumulates, it's obvious the film is a parody. Stellan Skarsgård plays the successful and well-integrated immigrant who manages to out-punch or out-smart everyone. In his apparent simplicity and practical modesty, the film functions as a platform to parody the Norwegian mega-rich -the gangsters and drug runners- who live in designer apartments, drink smoothies but would never let artificial additives pass their lips. They present themselves as wholesome, if insane, gangsters cut-off from their children through broken relationships and their own wealth (parallels with Norwegian society abound). The least satisfying sub-plot is the sudden inter-ganster war with the Serbians (who at one point they mix up with the Albanians). They seem to provide the foreigner viewpoint on Norwegians, but somehow it isn't effective - notably because of troublesome Eastern European clichés. However, it doesn't take itself too seriously, also taking a pot shot at Norwegians who take Thai wives. It's major fascinations are the funny things Norwegians do and the hilarious idea of a Norwegian mafia. The ensuing farce doesn't quite come together, but the use of a logging machine as a weapon is amusing enough. The only major fail of the film is Skarsgård's wife, who appears to disappear at one point. They could have done more with her and perhaps made her unaware of what he was doing, providing domestic normality or a 'heart' for the film. Nonetheless, it's raucous, surprising and fun to watch and often laugh-out-loud funny, particularly if you get the Norwegian references.… Expand

Mafia in the snow with black humor abound in this frozen western shoot-out, with good camera work and simple script, strong on the scenery.
