I Want to Speak to Johnson

1917 · 18 min Comedy
5.0 / 10 · TMDB

Nokke and Jørgensen are tram railgrinders and good friends. Jørgensen drinks too much, while Nokke in vain urges his friend to give up the bottle. When Jørgensen ends up in hospital, Nokke shows up to talk some sense into his sick friend. Regrettably, Nokke is not the sharpest knife in the drawer and as he searches for the patient, the staff is led to believe that he should be admitted himself. Will he ever get to see Jørgensen?

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedy from the clash between a sincere desire to help and utter practical incompetence. It relies on a classic case of mistaken identity, where one clumsy visit spirals into chaos within a rigid institution.

What lingers after the final reel is a warm, unpretentious tale of friendship, where the ultimate remedy for life's troubles is good-natured foolishness, elevated to an art form. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Lau Lauritzen Sr.
