Odd Horten (Baard Owe) is a former train driver who struggles to adjust to the freedoms of retirement. Most of this movie takes place in the snow-covered Oslo night, where Horten encounters a series of erratic characters as his own behavior slides into nonconformity. The writer/director (Bent Hamer) fills this movie with little eccentricities that are rarely explained but often provoke amusement. O’Horten is a wonderfully amusing piece, with Hamer demonstrating his innate ability for offbeat comedy.  Admission is $6 for all UM alumni, faculty, and staff, and is free for students. General admission is $8. The film screens on Friday, July 31 at 7 p.m., Saturday, August 1 at 4:15  and 8:05 p.m., and Sunday, August 2 at 4:15 and 8:15 p.m. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
