Flickering Lights
Four smalltime gangsters from Copenhagen bilk their gangster boss out of $4 million krones. Trying to escape to Barcelona, they're forced to hide for several weeks in an old, wrecked country house. Slowly, one after another, they realize they'd like to stay there and start a new life by renovating the house and turning it into a restaurant. But can they dress up their checkered past?

Absolument impressionant! - pigtails_in_montreal
Au debut,je croyais encore un autre film noir europeen qui hurle l'angoisse. Sauf que franchement,ce film vaut la peine d'etre visionner. Il y existe des moments absolument cocasses ou j'ai ris de bonne foi. Un grand Bravo, a toute l'equipe de realisation danoise! et les acteurs ont fait joli travail. :)amusing Danish timepasser - Misterwindupbird
This Danish pastiche of US indie films isn't going to win any awards for originality, but as wacky gangster comedy psychodramas go, it's fairly entertaining, even if it doesn't really add up to much in the end. Though there are a couple of bits of "wacky" xenophobia that leave a sour taste behind when it's over.A well deserved 5 stars - Gywalgi
I rarely give 5 stars to a movie but this one entirely deserves it. It has the ability to blend hilarious moments with tragic events. The Danish cinema is slowly taking its place on the market and if Denmark goes on producing gems like that they will soon become a force to be reckon with.
As for the story all I will say is that it is original, witty and really really funny. The actors are simply natural and it pays off.
If you are tired of dum american movies and want something more than predictable plots and mediocre acting, this one is for you.
