About This Movie

'Oj oj oj eller 'Sången om den eldröda hummern' is a quirky 1966 Swedish comedy that weaves together a series of frenetic sketches. It plays with the familiar tale of suitors vying for a princess, but with a farcical twist that only the Swedes seem to pull off with such charm. The pacing is erratic, almost like a fever dream, but in a delightful way that keeps you guessing what absurdity will come next. The practical effects, though modest, have a certain charm that adds to the film's loony atmosphere. It’s really a showcase for distinct performances, each actor diving headlong into their roles with a palpable enthusiasm that makes the experience feel alive.

This film is a bit of a rarity, not widely available in many formats. The scarcity of physical copies, especially original releases, makes it an interesting find for collectors. Interest in this movie tends to be niche, yet there are dedicated fans who appreciate its unique blend of humor and storytelling. If you can track down a print, it definitely sparks conversations among fellow collectors.
