This is Oslo, too

About This Movie

So, 'This is Oslo, too' is a curious little documentary from 1968 that really goes off the beaten path. It gives you this almost dreamy sense of place, exploring Oslo without its usual landmarks—the vibe is much quieter, a bit like taking a leisurely walk through a secret history. The pacing feels contemplative, encouraging you to soak in the lesser-known areas like Vålerenga and Damstredet, far from tourist traps. You get this raw, unfiltered look at the city, which is kind of refreshing in a way. It’s those unpolished moments that make it stand out—no flashy effects, just real streets and authentic life. It’s definitely a slice of Oslo that feels more personal and intimate than most films about the city.

This film has a bit of an obscure history; not a lot of copies floating around, which might pique a collector's interest. It’s one of those gems that isn’t exactly mainstream, so finding a physical copy can be a challenge. I’ve seen a few formats, but they’re not common, making it quite a conversation piece among enthusiasts. If you come across it, it's certainly worth considering for its unique perspective on Oslo.
