Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann (Felix Herngren, 2013)

The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed out of the Window and Disappeared, an adaptation of Jonas Jonasson's picaresque best-seller, which features the escapades of a centenarian on the lam with misappropriated loot in the present and flashbacks to his Gump/Zelig-style adventures through the ages, suffers from some discontinuity by choosing to skip over some of the colourful episodes of his preposterous life - not that more than the film's two hours is really called for. What clearly passes for humour in Sweden is also cringeworthily broad at times, but the overall tone is nevertheless so light, as the ingenuous and virtually idiot savant protagonist stumbles through life from one moment of serendipity to another, at the music-driven tempo of Kusturica at full comic tilt, that it's hard not to be charmed.
