Just Another Love Story

Jonas is a crime photographer, a family man, and a generally beleaguered resident of suburban malaise until he's involved in a car accident that leaves a stranger, Julia, unconscious in the hospital. Curiosity compels Jonas to visit her, but when Julia's family mistakes him for her boyfriend, Sebastian (whom they've never met), Jonas readily steps into the role. His pretense would be short lived, but Julia awakens with amnesia and, enlivened by the new identity he's inherited, Jonas maintains the deception. Of course, memories return. And so do boyfriends.

    Rated - 4 stars

    Pretty Good really - give it a go.

    Not sure why it only shows as 55% with no reviews.

    I found this film quite entertaining, not too bleak (as some foreighn films can be), not too wordy, so the subtuitles don't make it hard to watch.

    There are some similarities to 'While you were slleping' in that Sandra Bullock pretended to be the girlfriend of a coma victim who she saved from death. Here the star is a pretend boyfriend.

    There are 2 scenes in particular that are very graphic, one is a car crash which is the most realistic I have ever seen, and very well filmed and shown; the other is an attack scene (SPOILER ALERT) with some graphic crunching of bone noises and bludgeoning going on.

    Overall I really enjoyed it, it was cringeworthy when the pretence starts, and gets tense as it all unravels around the main character.

    Just another good Danish thriller

    The set up maybe the dark mirror of While you were Sleeping combined with Something Wild but it is done with style and imagination and the constant threat that things are going to go bad at some stage. The dialogue and acting are superbly natural, watch it now before the probable Hollywood version comes out next year.
