- DirectorAnders Thomas JensenStarsUlrich ThomsenMads MikkelsenNicolas BroA neo-Nazi sentenced to community service at a church clashes with the blindly devoted minister.This movie is very philosophically inspiring and funny. You can never stop analyzing this movie, because of all the meaningful scenes. The reason it is a comedy (since it could succeed even without the comedic scenes), is that the Danes could never make movies with high effects-quality, yet this film is well made and has a good balance between the philosophical, the plot, the fun and the effects!
- DirectorSøren Kragh-JacobsenStarsAnders W. BerthelsenMaria BonnevieGhita NørbyThomas' sister is a journalist and wants to talk to him but "drowns" just before. In her apartment he finds papers about biochemical weapons and the Danish intelligence agency their dead dad was in. Thomas investigates.Finally, a Danish film that dares to criticize the Danish democracy and not portray it as spotless and idealistic!
- DirectorAnders Thomas JensenStarsSøren PilmarkUlrich ThomsenMads MikkelsenA gang of 4 Danish criminals are ordered by Færingen to steal a bag from a safe. When they see DKK4,000,000 in the bag, they keep it for themselves and head for Spain. They end up in a ruin of an old restaurant on Jutland and renovate it.A very funny film about friendship. This film shows Danish humor, such as it really is. A movie about the "Danish Dream" and how much Danes really know themselves (not much).
- DirectorAnders Rønnow KlarlundStarsSøren PilmarkLouise MieritzSøren FauliA satirical drama revealing the consequences of the Danish government's "New Copenhagen Criteria", a new policy aiming at securing the nation's survival. Citizens who fail to meet the criteria - those who have received more from society than what they have contributed - are eliminated.Denmark in 15 years. The film has a really good point, who's really destroying the community and do we want to really get rid of them? In this case we will no longer be a community.
- DirectorAnders Thomas JensenStarsNikolaj Lie KaasMads MikkelsenLine KruseTwo Danish friends are tired of their employer and open their own butcher shop. An electrician accidentally dies in the freezer and he's sold as marinated chicken and business picks up. What happens when they run out of "chicken"?The film's message is very simple. Some would say that it does not require so long a movie to show this message. But the movie is so fun and exciting meanwhile, this does not make anything.
- DirectorNikolaj ArcelStarsAnders W. BerthelsenSøren PilmarkNastja ArcelElection for the Danish parliament is up and the main opposition party has a chance at winning and its leader at becoming the next prime minister. The leader is hospitalized and the scheming begins.This movie is exciting and unfortunately realistic, but in addition you get no more from it than if you watched Danish politics in television. Which says more about Danish politics than about the movie.
- DirectorKathrine WindfeldStarsIben HjejleLars MikkelsenFaegh ZamaniA Danish journalist is taken hostage in Afghanistan by a terror group that threatens to kill her if Denmark does not withdraw their troops from the country.Really bad acting and no special film. But the message in this film outshines everything else and makes the movie worth watching: Sweden is the solution for all Danish immigrant problems.
- DirectorAnders MatthesenStarsAnders MatthesenSøren RislundIben DornerA bitter and stressed man ends up in a car crash and gets another chance for life.Very funny.
- DirectorNikolaj ArcelStarsSara Langebæk GaarmannLucas Munk BillingLasse BorgA Danish girl sees her brother's body be taken over by the soul of an 1800s man. A boy and the local, clairvoyant inventor agree to help her. They're up against dark forces and time when they head off to the Island of Lost Souls.A very good children's film. Actually, the film is so well made that it is better than a lot of similar films from other countries.
- DirectorKresten Vestbjerg AndersenThorbjørn ChristoffersenStefan FjeldmarkStarsAnders MatthesenKim MatthesonBill BaileyTerkel is an average teenager whose life takes a turn for the worse when a girl who had a crush on him kills herself and an unknown maniac starts stalking him.The film may be a little disgusting, but it is hilarious!
