Denmark Drama intensethought provoking
The Dogme 95 aesthetic still echoes through Danish cinema, and the country’s comedies can be as bracingly honest as its heaviest dramas. Pusher follows a small-time dealer spiralling through Copenhagen’s underworld, Antichrist is a punishing retreat into the woods, and You and Me Forever has a woman rebuilding her life after leaving an abusive husband. Nymphomaniac: Volume I, Open Hearts, Klown, Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself, Italian for Beginners, The Idiots and A Hijacking round out the list.
