If you loved the movie Forest Gump, you'll adore The 100-Year-Old Man. And, if you've never seen Gump, you'll love this film even more. In any event, prepare to be bowled over by an inventive, original, and picaresque (dare we say "gumpish") screenplay that gives a good Nordic spin to a globe-hopping, time-traveling tale.Based on a best-selling novel, 100-Year-Old Man, went on to become the top-grossing film in Swedish history thanks, in large measure, to the inspired, wacky genius of director, screenwriter, producer, and actor Felix Herngren.
