Last night we popped along to the cinema for the third and final installment of our Nordic Film Festival experience: another Danish film - Frygtelig Lykkelig (Terribly Happy).
I have seen a couple of reviews describing this film as 'Coen brothers-esque'. I have to admit I'm not super familiar with the work of the Coen brothers, so I couldn't say whether or not that's a good assessment but I can tell you one thing: this film is HILARIOUS (in a dark quirky kind of way, but hilarious none the less).
We have had so much fun spending a couple of hours in Northern Europe this week that we're totally inspired to have a few movies nights at home, re-watching the dozen or so Danish films I have on DVD.
And we're hoping to have the chance to indulge more of the same if the festival is back next year! =)

ps. if you're in Melbourne it's not too late! Check out the screening times here!

ReplyDeletethe Danes do fantastic films. I've seen some wonderful ones over the years. This would have been really enjoyable.
