One of my danish favourites. Very silly and extremely funny satire, mostly against pseudo-profound art movies, 'von' Trier in particular, etc.
Nikolaj and Ulrich are great. - DirectorAnders Thomas JensenStarsDavid DencikMads MikkelsenNikolaj Lie KaasThrough getting to know their unknown family, two outcast brothers discover a horrible truth about themselves and their relatives.Men and Hens.
6.7? Proof, if any were needed, that IMDb ratings are entirely meaningless. I thought this would get 8.5 or something.
Probably Anders Thomas Jensen's best script, and he's written a lot of very good movies.
Extremely silly and twisted. With some profound moments. - CreatorSøren SveistrupStarsSofie GråbølMorten SuurballeLars MikkelsenPolice detective Sarah Lund investigates difficult cases with personal and political consequences.(The Crime)
- DirectorÅke SandgrenStarsNikolaj Lie KaasPeter MygindSusan OlsenA 7-year-old girl's (Line Kruse) imaginary friend (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) comes to life, but adults misunderstand his kindness toward children.Truly Human
One of my absolute favourite danish movies. It seems not many have seen it. Very touching and funny, and..poignant. Not mainly a comedy, although it's very funny. A satire against modern city life, yuppies/'sophisticated' urban people and their forgetful self-importance. Something akin to Being There. - DirectorMikkel Munch-FalsStarsBodil JørgensenSebastian JessenHenrik PripFollows the lives of four longing souls. Ingeborg who feels unattractive and young Jonas who is so attractive that he can literally sell some of what he's got. Anna, a young beautiful woman with a physical disability, and Anders, a tender man with a psychological disability. Four people yearning for love, four people, each hoping for a better tomorrow.
