Februrary 13 The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
Sweden; Rated R; 114 minutes; 2013
After a long and colorful life working in munitions and getting entangled in the Spanish Civil War, the Manhattan Project, and other definitive events of the 20th century, Allan Karlsson finds himself stuck in a nursing home. Determined to escape on his 100th birthday, he escapes out of a window and onto the nearest bus, kicking off an unexpected journey involving, among other surprises, a suitcase stuffed with cash, some wicked criminals, and an elephant named Sonya. Like an unruly Nordic cousin of Forrest Gump, Allan’s youthful escapades and current adventures weave together into an offbeat treat for anyone who’s young at heart.
“Irreverent and frequently outrageous. Clever and thoroughly crowd-pleasing.” – Peter Debruge, Variety
“An explosive comedy...A hoot and a half.” - Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times
