I have to thank the profiling of Netflix, who offered me this superb film. A masterpiece of family psychology, very refined and credible in the description of the characters, it reminded me a lot of the French novel of the nineteenth century (Balzac and Stendhal). In fact, I absolutely did not know the author Henrik Pontoppidan from whom the story is based. Moreover, it is a cross-section of Danish history and civilization of which I have realized that I know very little. In fact, watching this film has suddenly made the entire production of Lars Von Trier more comprehensible to me.
