Italian For Beginners

 

Denmark 2001, 98 minutes
Dir. Lone Scherfig
In Danish, Italian with English subtitles
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy, Drama / Romance

Feat. Anders W Berthelsen

 

Aroview: A likeable ensemble comedy in which six vulnerable characters orbit a drab Copenhagen suburb, each seeking some form of solace, romance or love.

Somewhat detracted by its "Dogme 95" production code (which attempts to banish 'artificial' means from the film-making process), the shot-on-video, soap-opera-ish quality is less appealing than its humanism and the genial characters who meet through an Italian-language nightclass and the local church.
