Festen (1998)
1000 movies. Have given 12 of those 10/10. This is one of them.
The Empire State building is great. The sun is great. The Matrix is great. This movie, this is freaking spectacular. Never have I been so close to a film, never have I developed a nearly personal relationship with the film characters over the course of and hour and a half.
I could write a freaking book of how great awesome this film is, but then you wouldn't read it. So Ill be brief.
This film is, without question, one of it's kind. If you haven't watched it, ill promise itll be something you've never seen before. The acting, direction the cinematography, everything. It's just all great. It is a great film that follow the guidelines of Dogme 95 to perfection and it keeps you nailed to the screen.
I've seen a lot of movies. Never anything like this. Never anything like this. 10/10
Flammen & Citronen (2008)
Breathtaking
Im usually not a huge fan of Danish movies but this one, however, takes it beyond that regular crap with cheesy endings and bad obvious acting. This movie has soul. The little things really have their part in this one and by paying attention to the details you get something you've never seen before.
First of all, the acting. Thure Lindhardt and Mads Mikkelsen manages to make their parts more natural than I've seen in years. And for once they're not talking with a rhythmic, obvious-acting kind of tone but a real and honest voice. And after watching this one I truly understand why they call Thure The Man With The Thousand Faces.
As for the directing, it is award-winning stuff. Ill be surprised if it doesn't win several prizes and important ones too.
So if you read this, which I assume you do, go watch Flammen og Citronen. I can promise you intensity, honesty, love, bravery, hate, jokes and friendship all-in-one. This movies doesn't have those cheesy, dumb, ridiculous scenes but gives you something honest and pure.
I would recommend this for movie of the year so far, if I have the power to do so. I love this movie and I admire it even more. 9/10
Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin (1986)
Animated film series of the century
This show is probably the best TV series I've ever watched. It's not the usual stuff with clichés and crap everywhere but a unique and special story that really touches you. There are so many aspects of life and the becoming of an adult that surfaces in this story that you can barely believe it. The story is original and pure and it has a lot of theoe special moments when you smile and look out of the window just to imagine if you were there.
I am 19 years old and Im still totally lost in this series. And I've come to realize that it is not a children's series. There is indeed a lot of violence and perhaps also bad words so it is really for all ages.
The animation is, of course, different from what we know today, however, it only adds to the uniqueness of the series. Many critcs would perhaps laugh and watch something else but we who know better will just look even closer.
I can only recommend that you watch it as soon as possible. It is a story about courage, trust and freedom and it WILL touch you, just wait.
