aka: Elsker dig for evigt
Denmark 2002, 108 minutes
Dir. Susanne Bier
In Danish with English subtitles
Rating: [R16]

Aroview: A touch edgier than recent 'Dogme 95' melodramas, this explores the consequences of a car accident on the previously steady lives of those involved.

A man is left paralyzed after being run down; his fiance then finds romantic solace in the arms of the husband of the careless driver! Switching priorities in its storyline halfway through to focus on the husband's family, this also bends the 'rules' of the Dogme genre somewhat with various visual 'effects'. Although ultimately as bleak as FESTEN et al, some refreshing humour provides ample distinction.
