SummaryWhen Norwegian scientist Marie attends a seminar in Paris on the actual weight of a kilo, it is her own measurement of disappointment, grief and, not least, love, that ends up on the scale. Finally Marie is forced to come to terms with how much a human life truly weighs and which measurements she intends to live by. [Kino Lorber]

His (Hamer) new film, 1001 Grams, is almost as good as “Kitchen Stories,” with a story equally unpromising – but only in theory.

Even if 1001 Grams isn't Hamer's best, it sees the director's enjoyable style come into full form.

Hamer’s style is what might happen if Ulrich Seidl liked people, with immaculate balance in each shot, but the emotions in focus, as well. 1001 Grams is wise about both grief and the need for romance.

1001 Grams achieves a charming equipoise of levity and gravity, of formal rigor and soulful sentiment.

What saves 1001 Grams from being excruciatingly cute is that it does have a clean look and a pleasant tone, and it’s about a subject that’s both unusual and entertaining.

This portrait of an introverted soul brought out of her shell is not without its charms.

In the end, Bent Hamer's view of current international relations comes to down to a treacly rendition of "Kumbaya."
