After the Wedding (Efter brylluppet)

Academy Award Nominee - Best Foreign Language Film

Jacob Petersen (Mads Mikkelsen) has dedicated his life to helping street children in India. When the orphanage he's in charge of is threatened by closure, he receives an unusual offer. A Danish businessman, Jørgen, offers him a donation of $4 million dollars. There are, however, certain conditions... Not only must Jacob return to Denmark, he must also take part in the wedding of Jorgen's daughter. The wedding proves to be a critical juncture between past and future and catapults Jacob into the most intense dilemma of his life.

Captivating Story - bbryon1

This screen play has more left turns than anyone expects. A man comes from India to get money for the poor. OK, so? He meets a Billionare. Ok, So? Next thing you know he is part of the family and managing millions. Wow. And I believed the story. Neat twists and turns, just about the time you think you know them another twist. Great screenplay, excellent editing.

Bad Cover - Great Movie - LAPzip

By looking at the cover, I did'nt expect much a movie. But has the saying says: "Don't judge a book by it's cover" (In this case Don't judge a movie by it's cover).

This is a movie touched me from beginning to end. I loved how the director tells his story with visual more than with words (True Cinematic Language).

The director is Susanne Bier. She is recognized as one of the most influential directors in Denmark.

She also did a movie called Brothers (The new American Version was released this month) and thought that it was also a powerful movie.

To be honest After The Wedding had a great cast, a great story and a bad cover ;-)

Enjoy it alone at night or with a loved one that appreciate dramas!

Great Story With Great Acting - revsdd

"After the Wedding" is a very well done Danish film with strong acting and a story that moves along at a crisp pace while managing to introduce new twists throughout without allowing the plot to become lost in a muddle. The first two thirds of the movie or so is a sort of mystery as we wonder why Jorgen (Rolf Lassgard) - a very wealthy Danish businessman - has asked Jacob (Mads Mikkelson) - who runs an orphanage in India - to come to Copenhagen to meet him. Ostensibly, Jorgen wants to make a large donation to the orphanage, but everyone knows there's got to be more to the story than that. It becomes clear, for example, that Jacob knows Jorgen's wife Helene (Sidse Babett Knudsen) and a rather startling secret comes out at the wedding of Jorgen's daughter Anne (Stine Fischer Christensen). One assumes that secret is going to be the key to the movie, except that Jorgen has one more secret to come out, which leads to perhaps the most powerful scene in the movie (Jorgen's last scene) which is powerfully raw with emotion.

Essentially, this is good all the way through. It was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language film, and certainly deserved the nomination. The quick pace slows down a bit once all the secrets are out but that really doesn't detract much from the story. The ending (revolving around Jacob's relationship with Pramod - an 8 year old in the orphanage who Jacob has cared for since birth) left me a little bit dry to be honest. All in all, though, I thought this was a very good movie, and even the subtitles didn't bother me too much.
