| Brief Description: | "...a rarity: a humane picture about modern romance among believable adults" (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). A real charmer, this 12th "official" film in the Dogme 95 movement proved that its "vow of chastity" (location shooting, natural lighting and sound, hand-held camera) need not apply only to harsh and cynical stories. This is a warm, funny romantic comedy and its stylistic restrictions are less notable than its highly appealing characters and the equally winning actors who play them. Set mainly in Copenhagen, it follows the intersecting relationships and romances among a group of young adults, with the local church and a small Italian language class serving as focal points. Lars Kaalund is a standout as the class' comically combative new teacher. Shot on digital video. In Danish and Italian with English subtitles. |
