They Make Good Films These Days (Just Not in Hollywood) - #21

I have been waiting a long time for this Danish masterpiece. The Hunt has finally been released on DVD.


 The wait is over. Rent or buy this film ASAP.

Mads, who has made more than one appearance in my They Make Good Films These Days list, won best actor at Cannes for this performance.

They Still Make Good Films These Days (Just Not In Hollywood) - #15

Norway's a good place they make films. Submarino, for example.



I love finding new directors.

This film has a Jim Jarmusch/Quentin Tarantino influence to it, in that the stories unfold in overlapping flashbacks similar to Mystery Train and Pulp Fiction.

There really isn't any comedy in this film, though. It's all tragedy. Some may call it slow, but I call it just beautiful.

I can't wait to see Mads Mikkelsen in Vinterberg's latest "The Hunt."

So sayeth the King of Funny Faces.
