  • A well crafted Danish film.

    Rated - 4.5 stars

    Besides one artfully shot bedroom scene, this isn't a gay film at all, and really doesn't deserve a minority label.

    Reading some of the moaning ol' queeny reviews, if you want some rubbish soft-core erotic rubbish, to get your rocks off, this film probably isn't for you.

    This is a serioius film exploring many different relationships, set against a background of Danish neo-Nazi thuggery.

    Well acted, with high production values. This is a slow paced, intense drama, with the ultra-realism you to come to expect from the best of Danish cinema/television.

    The lead actor Thure Lindhardt, for some reason not listed on this page, is one of the most critically acclaimed actors of his generation, and is outstanding in this film.

    this film is looking at racism and also homophobia in a gang that is like the BNP - and how this is the only vehicle for some people to progress - without qualifications and power - it shows how vulnerable and easy prey are used by those of the far right. so the film looks at the hypocrisy of that and the penalties for being honest and loving someone in that environment, good film. it deals with gay sexuality and relationships

    The performance from both main actors is absolutely flawless. the film is moving, touching with a constant feeling of danger hanging over the characters. Well told story with an inevitable ending. Little Danish gem!

  • Challenging film

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer , 13 May 2012
    I don't normally write reviews, but I felt I had to say something in response to the others on here, since this is an intelligent film that aims to say something serious about fascistic male bonding and the place of sexual contact within that. It's ultimately a romance between two loathsome individuals, and the violence in the film - far from being 'gratuitous' - is intended to underscore the contradiction. If you're looking to be reassured by positive images and banal feelgood plots, you won't like this. And for those who think that same-sex desire and fascism don't mix, the fact is it often has, so please wake up to the advance of the far right across Europe, and of prominent, even out, gay figures within it.

    Good film and such hot actors, but please, what happens at the end of the film ? gay bashing neo nazi's just don't it for me, but I'd have David Dencik's doc Martens on my chest any day !
