About The Man Who Loved Yngve
It’s November 1989 and the world is changing. So is Jarle, who attends Kongsgård High School in Stavanger. He plays the guitar/lead singer in a local punk band, has a great girlfriend, and has the coolest best friend. But it's all about to change when Yngve enters the classroom.
Directed by Stian Kristiansen, The Man Who Loved Yngve leans on a strong ensemble — Rolf Kristian Larsen, Arthur Berning, Ida Elise Broch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
