Synopsis
A romantic comedy might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a film made in Sweden, a country that has produced its fair share of serious dramas where tormented characters are stuck in eternal winter. And thus, you would be pleasantly surprised and charmed by actor-turned-director Mårten Klingberg’s Cockpit, a light-hearted, cross-gender comedy with just enough of a Nordic twist that makes it a perfect commentary on the contemporary Swedish society that is known for its status of gender equality. Airline pilot Valle suddenly loses everything in his life: his job, his wife, the custody of his son, and his house。 In sheer desperation, this down-on-his-luck fellow made an unorthodox decision by posing as a woman named “Maria” in order to be considered for an airline captain position that is only open to women。 Just when he thinks he can get back in control of his life, his beautiful colleague Cecila declares her love for him, or in this case, his female self…
電影簡介
如果你對瑞典電影的印象，仍停留在大師英瑪褒曼，一系列刻劃人性陰暗面的嚴肅正劇，這部新晉導演的愛情喜劇，保證令你感到耳目一新。正所謂禍不單行，飛機師Valle剛被點名裁員，老婆隨即捨他嫁個有錢人去，更要獨攬兒子撫養權，走投無路，只好投靠妹妹回娘家暫住。適逢有航空公司請女機長，這位倒楣的多失熟男，決定戴上胸圍，披著假髮，拋下所謂的男性尊嚴，以化名「瑪利亞」的女兒身，再次衝上雲霄。正當以為生活可重回軌道，妙麗同事Cecila，卻忽然對「她」表白愛意。雖說有關性別錯摸的愛情喜劇，早已見怪不怪，但把這個現代版《杜絲先生》，放在瑞典這個男女平等意識極高的社會，卻多了一重諷刺意味。再配上大量充滿喜感的北歐俊男美女，不失為一部賞心悅目的飯後甜品。
