Honorary Amanda Anne Marit Jacobsen: A formidable artist – VG

A Prayer for the Norwegian film industry; use this lady for all she’s worth!

At Anne Marit Jacobsen not long ago received an Honorary Amanda must be due to the totally absurd fact that she not has been the biggest gang remorse on Norwegian cinema screens.

When looking for are admittedly a series of treats, where this eminent actor excels in smaller roles, and often plundered all the attention with its precise timing, and a stage presence that speaks directly to the senses.

Theatre scene is her “home”, but one important reason why Jacobsen has been audience say, is through countless television series; most recently in “Frikjent” thriller on TV 2. VG-review after the first rounds of the series was the following: “Anne Marit Jacobsen steals, with little change in sight, gestures and tone of voice, as well as scenes she participates in as Aksel embattled and paranoid mother. “

This is a description of her talent that characterizes most of what she has done, on film, on television, on the cabaret scene and at its regular haunt, the National Theatre .

When talking about this versatile actor, so there is no escaping what was her first major role. I was 16 years old when I in 1970 as Television Theatre’s production of Ibsen’s The Wild Duck, with Anne Marit Jacobsen as young Hedvig. It became a momentous opplevesle – for me and for many others.

The ability to penetrate the screen to reach under the skin of a spectator, was there from the first moment – and she had this ability in his stage appearance since then, no matter what arena of culture and entertainment she resides. It is simply formidable.

She comes from a family full of actors and humorists; from himself Heide Steen dynasty. That she has received comedy award and Gullruten is well known. Her parody of Gro Harlem Brundtland was a figure Jacobsen could live well off.

Equally strong is she in roles like the little cautious, slowly anxious or something haunted women, as in “Frikjent” the subtle film comedy ” as you see me, “or ’90s TV series that collected the Norwegian people once a week,” Vestavind. “

in the fall, she’s 70 years and dies out of the National Theatre. In recent years she has taken over himself, and created some unique scene moments in performances like “The faster I go, the less I am,” and in Jon Fosse’s “Morgon and night.”

Her reply VG in summer when it comes to good role offers were the following:

– Yes, roles are becoming fewer, demand maybe something less. But then you get to take the initiative themselves, initiate things, be a bit like free-range hen and lay their egg where you should and will, and people want it.

So let’s hope this free-range hen still has many eggs to lay. It would be of immense pleasure for the Norwegian film industry and its audience.
