February 25 is the premiere of the new Norwegian film «Full coverage». The film takes a deep dive into the many secrets that can be found inside the mobile phone.
The main roles are Nicolai Cleve Broch (46), Agnes Kittelsen (41), Thorbjørn Harr (47), Kyrre Hellum (48), Ellen Birgitte Winther (45), Sara Khorami (34) and Jan Gunnar Røise (46).
Had to escape according to rumors
A friends’ dinner takes a drastic turn after a very special “mobile game” is started. Everyone has to put their phones on the table, and everything that happens on it must be shared with the rest of the group. That presents problems.
– Wanted each other well
On Tuesday this week, See and Hear met six of the seven main characters, to have a chat about the film. Everyone from the ensemble was present except Kyrre Hellum, and everyone could reveal details from the recording.
– Many will say this is a star-studded film – what has it been like working together?

– I feel we established early a common desire to play each other well, and dare to ask for help when needed and help each other, says Nicolai Cleve Broch to See and Hear, before adding that he personally did not experience the film as star-studded .
– I thought more that it was a very nice ensemble that wanted each other well, and I hope it seems in the film, that we go in the same direction, all of us.

Agnes Kittelsen, who in the film is married to the character of Thorbjørn Harr, adds that it was an interesting way to work together. As they sit around a dinner table for almost the entire film, they got to see each other work up close. Kittelsen thinks it was instructive and nice to see how the colleagues solved different tasks.
– It was really the most interesting, I also think, it was about ten hours every single day around that table. You see what everyone is doing at any given time, adds Sara Khorami, who recently had a role in another well-publicized Norwegian film: “Nothing to laugh at”.
– Hope our relationship lasts a lifetime
Frost smell
The “full coverage” actors say that while the rest of Norway, as a result of the corona, could not visit each other, they had dinner parties for as much as ten hours every single day for three whole weeks.
– You did not get tired of each other, then?
– I do not hope so, I did not get tired of you at least, so I hope you did not get tired of me, laughs Nicolai Cleve Broch, before everyone agrees that they did not get bored.
– We got a little tired of the smell of grouse then. It became very intense. Agnes and I had it very close. We had a bit of a facial expression on it after a while, says Sara Khorami.

– We became completely cooked by that smell, adds Agnes Kittelsen.
Thought it was the hair spray
Then they can also bring out a story from the recording, where Agnes Kittelsen at one point thought one of the strange smells on the set was her hair spray. She walked around all day and regretted that her hair spray smelled, but then it turned out to be the rowanberry jelly that was on the table.
– In advance, I thought it would be easy and fun around the table there, and throw away some comments. It was quite the opposite, Thorbjørn Harr admits about the filming at the dinner table.

Several of the actors mention that they are basically used to having a number of breaks when changing scenes and the like, but that in this film they had very little time for breaks.
Had to eat a lot of vegetables
– We sat just like that all the time, says Jan Gunnar Røise, and says that due to the corona situation they could not sit with the others in the production to eat lunch. Thus, they sat at the same dinner table all day – in the same clothes.
Was going on a date – went to the wrong city
Røise can also tell that he went five on during the recording. In the first shot, he “chose a little wrong” when it comes to food.
– I ate too much broccoli and cauliflower, he says, and explains that since he did this on the first take, there were a total of a little over a lot of vegetables.
– I made a stupid choice, he says to See and Hear.
