Norway’s oldest film: “Under forvandlingens lov, eller Jo tykkere, jo bedre“ (1911)

“BY THE LAW OF CHANGE or THE THICKER THE BETTER“ with English subtitles! From 1911, this classic romantic comedy silent movie is the oldest Norwegian movie surviving in “full“ (might be small parts missing, but not relevant to the plot). Plot: Camillo and Fancisca discover that their spouses, Julia and Arthus, are having an affair. They sedate the two and lock them into cages, until they get sick of eachother.
