Did you know that there is a beloved and well-established Scandinavian rip-off of “Curb Your Enthusiasm”? Not a shot-for-shot remake, but as this clip shows, the lighting, the camerawork, the mood, and the tone are all pretty dead-on recreations. Today’s Winner is younger than Larry David, and thus perhaps more physically nimble. I’d be curious to know what insights we’ll be able to glean about Northern European manners and neuroses, in a couple of years, when instantaneous verbal translation of films and TV shows becomes widely available on our Turboslut Telephones of Tomorrow.
