For all its seriousness, Lasse Lyskjær Noer's "Knight of Fortune" is a comedy of sorts - not the type of comedy where you're laughing your cheeks off, but the type of comedy that one employs to distract from a more darker and hurting issue. This short film is about a recent widower coming to terms with the passing of his wife, but told in a rather socially awkward way, with the spotlight on the solidarity and the empathy of strangers. It's both funny and poignant, and with a tremendous sense of closure. It's very well written to be as absurdly believable, and that makes this short film stand out.
