Esthers orkester (2022)
Emotional yet humorous
Esthers Orkester is a story about the first and the last day in a relationship which makes for a really interesting structure storytelling wise.
But more importantly, this film had me both laughing loudly and crying my eyes out. If you've ever lost someone dear to you and have had the horrible task of bringing others the news, this film could affect you deeply. It did for me and I'm thankful for that.
But the film doesn't take itself too seriously and I love that. It has these really emotional scenes that are suddenly punctured by what I'd call some kind of Lynchian humor. I think this suits the film well as it is in line with the characters way of acting and we need to be able to laugh, even when times get tough.

Alcohol
An extraordinary depiction of what alchohol can and cannot do. How it can help you and how it can fail you.
This movie is not a celebration of alcohol nor a "Don't you are drink that"-speach. It just pictures different aspects of alcohol with which the viewer can do as he/she wants.
Outstanding performances by the actors, especially Mads Mikkelsen.
The handheld camera, classic Thomas Vinterberg, gives a lot to the dynamic of this picture, great cinematography.
The sound department also did a great job, especially in the final scene, amazing.
Finally a big, fat thumbs up to the castingpeople and the costume designers who managed to picture Danish high school teachers and students as the actually look and behave in real life. Very realistic in that way.
