KLM: Diplomatix

About This Movie

KLM: Diplomatix is a unique gem from 1985 that showcases the quirky humor of Norway's own KLM comedy trio—Trond Kirkvaag, Knut Lystad, and Lars Mjøen. This film captures a delightful blend of absurd situations and sharp wit, characteristic of their stage work. The pacing feels playful, keeping viewers engaged with a series of sketches that, while loosely strung together, maintain a cohesive comedic atmosphere. Performance-wise, the trio's chemistry shines, allowing their comedic timing to flow seamlessly. The practical effects are charmingly low-tech but add an endearing quality to the proceedings. It's fascinating to see how this piece fits into the broader context of comedy at the time, especially in festival circuits like Montreux.
