Screening: The Cake General

Based on a true story, the directorial debut of popular Swedish personalities Filip and Fredrik is an outrageous, unconventional comedy set in the 1980s about an eccentric resident of “the most boring town in Sweden” who decides to put his sleepy hamlet on the map by assembling the world’s longest layer cake. “The Cake General is a warm, perhaps endearing tribute to people who do things; this hilarious story that stems from reality is also about everything that simmers below the surface in a small Swedish city. ” Jorn Rossing Jensen – Cineuropa 1h 41min ; in Swedish with English subtitles Saturday, November 23rd | 1pm | $7; free for SCC Members
