Slik blir det lettere

About This Movie

Slik blir det lettere, directed by Walter Fyrst in '56, is a curious blend of domestic focus and light entertainment. The film splits into two parts. First, we see a married couple navigating the ups and downs of new parenthood, which has this relatable yet slightly nostalgic vibe. Then we dive into a rather unique segment featuring Leif Juster, who shares practical cooking and housekeeping tips right on stage. It’s fascinating how this film reflects the societal expectations of the time, particularly aimed at the modern housewife. The pacing feels slow, almost like a cozy afternoon at home, and the practical effects are simple but serve their purpose well. Overall, it’s an interesting artifact of Norwegian cinema that captures a specific time and place.
