After the Wedding
by jenray @ Thursday, Jul. 03, 2008 - 18:59:06

Hi to everybody....sat and watched a Danish film last night on BBC4 called 'After the Wedding' starring Mads Mikkelsen and Rolf Laarson....it was slightly difficult to watch as it was a hand held camera and made the film a bit jumpy here and there, but, on the whole, it was a good story that gradually unfolded to become much more complex than it originally appeared...The acting was very good...particularly Rolf Laarson, who played a billionaire. I don't want to spoil the story by telling you the plot concerning him, because to do so would ruin the film. I don't like spoilers when I'm telling you about a film because I can see no point in recommending one and then telling you what the film was all about...makes it rather pointless bothering to watch it if you already know what's going to happen...
Also, the week before I saw another Danish film called 'Open Heart' again with Mads Mikkelsen. It was a completely different story about an accident that has a devastating effect on all the lives of the people involved in it, and was well paced and well acted again...I can recommend this one as well...Mikkelsen reminds me a bit of Vigo Mortensen in that he doesn't seem to act much but is a very powerful presence nonetheless...
Hope you get a chance to see both...good to see well acted European films being shown on BBC4...

I shall have to find them and watch them. He does remind one of Viggo Mortensen doesn't he? He is a good actor.
