Bunch of Five

About This Movie

Bunch of Five is this gritty little gem from '98 that dives into the chaotic lives of Oslo's youth. Jonas and Emir, just teenagers, are tangled up in a world that’s already inhospitable to them. The film's tone is raw, almost documentary-like, which really captures the harsh reality of growing up in a criminal environment. Emir's background adds a poignant layer, his brain damage creating an unintentional tension as he struggles with his impulses. There's something very distinctive about its pacing— it feels languid at times, but then bursts into these intense moments that catch you off guard. The atmosphere is thick, and the performances by the young cast are surprisingly compelling, drawing you in despite the often dark themes of violence and survival. It’s not a film that shies away from discomfort, but that’s precisely what makes it fascinating.
