Country: Denmark
Plot: Four people struggle with their sexual needs and their desire to be loved.
Review: First feature film from Mikkel Munch-Fals, wasn't so satisfying as
expected. Adopting the typical despair and grief from Scandinavian dramas, focuses on different characters who are trying to cope with loneliness, sexual
misfit and extreme psychological pain. The fear of not being accepted as they
really are, associated with the idea that there’s always someone for you (no
matter what problem you might have), is played here as a major key, but the
movie happens to be too dense and cold to be fully enjoyed. Not a cheerful
choice.
Relevant awards: New voices/visions grand jury prize (Palm Springs).
