[Thor Joachim Haga]

Wam & Vennerød was a Norwegian director/producer duo that made 14 films, mostly in the 70s and 80s, and with a strong political edge. Often ridiculed due to the dialogue and acting style, but appreciated more in recent years. The scores by Svein Gundersen, however, are excellent. Some of it is even reminiscent of Frank Duval’s DERRICK music, which we talked about elsewhere. Beautiful pop music, often with a melancholic vibe.
